Into the Forest to Get Lost is inspired by a poem by Fanny Howe:

Into the forest I went walking – to get lost.

I saw faces in the knots

of trees, it was insane, and hands

in branches, and everywhere names.

Throughout the elms

small birds shivered and sang

in rhyme.

I wanted to be air, or wind – to be at ease                          

in outer space but in the world

this was the case:

Human was God’s secret name.
