From the deep wood
far away sounds
isolated bird song
cries outno answer
trees strain toward the troubled sky
sometimes cracking
splintered light
lost amongst the shadowslost but nearer winter than the autumn
stark dark browns and peaty blacks
the tangle of the briars
withered fruitpungent peppery
mulch scent
fallen scattered leaves
like roses in the wavessoft
damp
dusty
decay
