A Poem a Day (240): Shade out

 

Shade out

The hunter lost his sense of humour
On a long hike through the glen.

He met a buffalo and an elk
Sat in the shade of a wounded oak,

Contemplating time out.

He wondered at the unique smallness
Of it all. The lack of definition.

And he noticed how the rain swam
In a deadly breastsroke.
Even keel.
