Reds and oranges
joined the chorus
skish and crunch
listened to the leaves
beneath the feet
of those that
forge the forest floor.
Ogethan pondered on
his path marked out for him
map, yellowed
at the edges
like calendar pages
falling
as time went by
quicker
and quicker
with the dying light of day.
Sharpe, Garth Addison, Jones…
…Lynnae.
Cheery cherry
pit in his stomach, turned
grew dense
caught up in
lives of little sparrows
and breathed
chest,
too narrow
inhaled the crisp
cool air, breathed
out a sigh of relief
and his heart
fluttered
migrated farther
and farther
how much more the Lord cared for thee.
