Paper, who told you the way of the thin place?
“She whispered to me through her red-berry lips—
‘Paper, you are a thin place too, like the trees.’
She kissed each letter as each letter kissed me,
her hands bound the red twine over memory.
She comes from the thin place too, from this forest,
and the mountain vale—she’s a bridge between worlds.
Out of the dark-green leaves, branches, and the snow—
she casts her spell here and knows she is home too.”
You have spoken true, and understand the way
of the thin place—where you were when you first began.
Now, Paper, you are free—
Sincerely, the Tree.
