Wilderness Journey, Day13

Rock in My Shoe

It is planted there
where one cannot see it
no plan it has to fit
on one stray nerve

innocently a foot
is dropped into the bed
the yelp as yet unsaid
until hobbled

Wilderness Journey, Day 12

Bitter Pie

The fruit they use is bad

sans sugar to sweeten
no cream to lighten
in soggy crust

cutting in what falls out

is mutilated hate
thrust on a world too late
for redemption

Wilderness Journey, Day 11

New Family

Summer’s wasps are long gone
fallen to freezing grouse
bequest of tenant house
for bluebird pair

One peeks, then the other
in and out the round hole
gaging if nest will mold
to the inside
