Even Those 

Maureen N. McLane

Even the places 

 the sun doesn't reach 

 in the deepest woods 

 are hot. Even the places 

that never dry -- the mosses 

 creeping everywhere 

 a damp carpet underfoot --

 are dry. Even the quietest 

places you've never been 

 are disquieted（担心，焦虑） by your cry. 

 Even those places.
