Walking Way Back When.
Did you ever really
know?
The rabbits might have
gone,
But landslide sentries
are still here,
Squirrels few, a cock
pheasant, a hen,
A slow swirlwind of
memories,
And love.
Time out.
No heron-stalking, just
flooded ground,
Massive water-flow, a
soggy challenge,
Underfoot, and muddy
dogs,
Cold, but contracted to
be a survivor,
You too, with your
thousand miles.
Did you ever really
see?
The foxes, and rabbits,
long gone,
The hollow I once saw
an owlet,
Now over-grown,
Dead and brambly.
My life?
A scarred tree, another
name,
A ghost squirrel
moment,
Skittering across the
cliff face,
Parental caution,
And a love, eternal,
but nevertheless,
Dead, deaf, crippled.
Where did all the
rabbits go?
Hibiscus late tonight, in the rain......
How damned sexy are roses??
Love this but it's BRUTAL!
Hence there might be an odd one that has appeared before, so indulge me.......
