fiction animates subtext of narratives without urge

speculative opening in a thicket  of actual needs
we witness naked figures   prioritized and reinforcing bias,
gathering    operational assumptions

hair is long--inclusive features
their language, foreign

iconic round-the-climactic
rituals of the reveal, a reductive idea
living in the woods

subtle, fleeting film   about their bodies
understanding just off frame, their disability

and a need for care
