NGSOLVER
The
Poisonwood
Bible
'Mother, be still, listen. I can see
you leading your children to the
water, and you call it a Story Of
ruin. Here is What I see:
First, the forest. Trees like
muscular animals ov wn
beyond all reason. Vines
their kin in the
wrestle for sunlight _ The glide
Ofsnake belly on branch. A
choir of seedlings arching
their necks out Of rotted tree
stumps, suckinglife out Of
death. I am the forest's
conscience, but remember
the forest eats itself
and lives forever."
