I can imagine
between the branches
of phylogenetic foliage
and beneath leafy treetops,
tiny theropods flit around
a tyrannosaur, which lazes in dappled sun—
the way I do.

I can also imagine
between the branches
of hereditary lineage,
Eliza McElroy and her children
dreaming of a faraway homeland
with inexplicable fire in bone—
the way I do.
