This article, titled "Poem as infiltrated tree," is a poem written by Derek R. Smith. The poem explores themes of relationships and the impact they can have on one's life. Using metaphors of bugs burrowing pathways in a tree and beavers gnawing at stability, the poet reflects on the damage caused by a past relationship. However, the poem also highlights resilience and personal growth, comparing it to the changing seasons. Derek R. Smith, a public health professional and Anishinaabe two-spirit, uses poetry as a means of expression and self-reflection. [Extracted from the article] |
