Rendezvous

Someone felled a tree  
dragged the trunk across
the entrance to the
tunnel of paths and woods
to keep cars from driving

through and using the cover of
leaves and darkness as a
rendezvous point
for crimes
but you shadow through on foot

use it as a place to ditch
the cops when chased
or drink 40s
and smoke weed sometimes
fuck each other when the

weather is warm or dry  
but even in the snow no one
humps so long as to get
frostbite or you just do it
standing up against a tree

whatever barriers nature or
society construct
you crawl under or over
if you’re wet or hard enough
or too scared not to get high.
