the direct route

walk the          straight line
cut off all the       branches
drag them
burn them
if you find a     robin's nest
if one fleck of      turquoise
would regret
would remorse
does a crack begin to form
is it already       absolutely
destroyed
yellow of a yolk
isn't that enough to   know
and if you go another  way
let branches be
are all of these
would you
will you          ever arrive
