WITCH’S WOOD

WITCH’S WOOD

by Logan Garner

(The Salal Review, 2024)

I’ll trade you the dreams 

of a sleeping dog

for the first full view 

of the rising Harvest moon.

Then we can all twitch 

happily beneath it—

you, the dog, and I—

under pale and ghostly light 

in dance of one sort or another.
