I can't get the formations out of my head

I find myself five months deep

in a wild wood. I make sacrifice with

my teeth, ripping skin, draining blood 

leaving corpses upside down 

on boughs

as I come upon them. how have they

traveled this far without fighting?

it grows darker and I meaner.

March unfolds April unfolds May,

the light lingers longer but does not

penetrate, and I materialize a

twisted formation, 

white as heartwood, 

sticky and moaning.

eerie morbid dark,
the alliteration on light made me smile.
I like how you used it to further the darkness,
even with the description of heartwood,
which is usually darker than the sapwood.

All alluding to being lost in a Forest
How apt. Heart
