~

these woods have owls … (  a  p o e m  )

…

these woods have owls yet no wolf prowls

within their dark

& shifty bowels


these fields gleam green - shades of serene

no nausea calls

or jealousy


this river's wet - that's fine, don't fret

it's always been

a soppy get


these woods have owls - these hills stand proud

& yet no sweat

drips from their brows

...
