Be a Cage that Holds Andrea Baker (bio) Fields of cane were burning. Fields of cane thundered into ashas the weak stirred at their concrete root and the insects stung one another.But I was untouched: a room, a wall, thin and harsh. Children die insideme. I need. And dependence wrings the neck of its swans.The pulse of a tree swallows the wind and neverlets it upward. Lavish yourself, chasing, grasping. Lumber is keen to burn. Infection carves in it.Control? The cause of God growing out of me? Like hair? Just release me. I am un-prayer: refusal. Stroke me and bear a gleam ofGod. [End Page 268] Andrea Baker Andrea Baker has two books coming out in 2015, Famous Rapes, a not-quite-graphic-novel about the history of depictions of sexual assault, and Each Thing Unblurred Is Broken, a collection of poetry. She has also published Like Wind Loves a Window and the chapbook Gilda. Copyright © 2015 Andrea Baker
