Flatten directory structure
All content files (*.txt, *.html, *.river) are now in /. I did this to simplify the compilation step, and to make linking easier. I'm still thinking about whether I should move the contents of js/, img/, and lua/ into /, or into an 'assets' folder of some sort. We'll see.

11 | I need a plant. I need a thing \ | ||
12 | to take care of. I need \ | ||
13 | a little green brownspotted \ | ||
14 | [blackdirt][] growing \ | ||
15 | quietness. I need a sunlit \ | ||
16 | dawn knowing my name filtered \ | ||
17 | through a [thin green window][]. \ | ||
18 | I need chlorophyll \ | ||
19 | working its [magic][] on beams of \ | ||
20 | grassmade early morning dewdrop \ | ||
21 | sweetmaking green. I need \ | ||
22 | the dark earth sucking water \ | ||
23 | from a black crevice \ | ||
24 | its black magic churning \ | ||
25 | wormilled rockturned starblind \ | ||
26 | darkness and cold into \ | ||
27 | [the opposite of dust][]. I need the heat \ | ||
28 | to blind me. I need the dumb making \ | ||
29 | to charge my coldened blood. I need \ | ||
30 | the dropturned leaves to turn again \ | ||
31 | their [faces to the windblown sun][]. \ | ||
32 | I need millions of tiny years \ | ||
33 | summed up and burning out some unknown \ | ||
34 | new growth into the air. I need four \ | ||
35 | hundred feet of dark red gnarled wood \ | ||
36 | and needles glistening wetly on goldheaded \ | ||
37 | branches hoisting themselves \ | ||
38 | to the sky. I need ten strong men \ | ||
39 | to fail to bring you down. Old one \ | ||
40 | I need the peace that comes with knowing \ | ||
41 | something sacred holds still \ | ||
42 | in the world. I need your green tongues \ | ||
43 | [of flame to lick at old wounds][] \ | ||
44 | stitching us together away from ourselves. \ | ||
45 | I need your brownbranching grasp \ | ||
46 | to keep me from drifting off \ | ||
47 | into [unknowing terrible sleep][]. I need \ | ||
48 | [to know the snake][] hanging \ | ||
49 | from your branches. I need to watch \ | ||
50 | the dropping of flesh massful \ | ||
51 | onto the ground from a height. I need \ | ||
52 | the gnawer at your root to strike \ | ||
53 | a vein to quicken old brown stone \ | ||
54 | to movement. I need jeweleyed venom \ | ||
55 | barking new greennesses into the bark. \ | ||
56 | I need a knocker of dark secrets hidden \ | ||
57 | in the dark bark hiding a smallstone \ | ||
58 | smoldering pearl in the knot. I need \ | ||
59 | that [pearl held out in a hand][] like an offering. \ | ||
60 | I need the hand to be a plant's hand. | ||
61 | |||
62 | I need a plant. I need a growing \ | ||
63 | growler [groaning][] toward heat and air. \ | ||
64 | I need a green thin stem surprisingly strong \ | ||
65 | holding up the weight of a plain \ | ||
66 | of fallow [greennesses of creases and caresses][] \ | ||
67 | of tiny worldmaking hardworking grandeur. \ | ||
68 | I need a singer of life crying \ | ||
69 | forward into old roads covered over \ | ||
70 | by dead trees. I need the rasping of root \ | ||
71 | in dirt. I need the unfurling of fiddleheads \ | ||
72 | to sing forth a new symphony. I need \ | ||
73 | fruits swelling large for the harvest. \ | ||
74 | I need yellow light shining through white bark. \ | ||
75 | I need juicecrush flowing waterlike \ | ||
76 | through valleys percolating up \ | ||
77 | through the ground. I need springs bubbling sap \ | ||
78 | into cabins of wood fought for by labor. \ | ||
79 | I need snow on the ground with shoots \ | ||
80 | dotting the melting patches. I need two \ | ||
81 | leaves on a thin stalk shivering \ | ||
82 | in [moonlight][]. I need robinsong warbling \ | ||
83 | over the heads of small seeds sprouting \ | ||
84 | to enliven their growth. I need rings \ | ||
85 | of woody material widening to push \ | ||
86 | the ground out of their way. I need \ | ||
87 | new greennesses pushing out from \ | ||
88 | the brown dark bark gnarled. I \ | ||
89 | need the robin to build its songfilled \ | ||
90 | nest in a [branchcrotch][]. I need \ | ||
91 | the fecundity of fungi on the branches. \ | ||
92 | I need quiet of the sunlight shooting \ | ||
93 | through thousands of branched leaves \ | ||
94 | quivering. [I need whisper at dawn.][] \ | ||
95 | I need burrows underground foxholes. \ | ||
96 | I need duff layers eaten through \ | ||
97 | by worms. I need brooks murmuring \ | ||
98 | through crooks of roots. I need small \ | ||
99 | [fish swimming][] in their schools at \ | ||
100 | midnight. I need oldnesses giving way \ | ||
101 | [to youngnesses giving way to oldnesses][]. \ | ||
102 | I need dapplegray yellowshot ashbark. \ | ||
103 | I need the crunch of dead leaves underfoot. \ | ||
104 | I need [snowquiet deadbranch][] mourning. \ | ||
105 | I need those [purple mountains majesty][]. \ | ||
106 | I need a walk between trees in the dark. \ | ||
107 | I need that moment when stopping to rest \ | ||
108 | it suddenly seems that all the weary \ | ||
109 | [forestroads][] in all their meandering come \ | ||
110 | [to rest their heads][] at my astonished \ | ||
111 | feet, none of them needing more than me. | ||
