Sounds that creep to meet me

From the shadows on the hill


They never seem to be ahead -

And never too far behind -

But little crispy, crunchy sounds that

That come up from beside -

As though they will ambush

From the corner of my eye.


A crack of branch

A grind of stone

Tiny soft footfall -

Threat unknown.
