Hiking

                         by Ken Shiovitz

 

               Woods are safely silent,

               Twigs crack beneath the feet,

               So still that distant flutters

               Just accentuate the sweet.

 

               Then exploding off the leaflets,

               Attacking otic par,

               "I’ll kill you little bastard!”

               "Noooo, mom, its just not fair."

 

               Through parting of the branches,

               A field and then a house,

               Good half-a-mile distant,

               Yet freezing fox and grouse.

 

               Reversal of direction,

               Moving through the shielding growth,

               Pulsing head rejects acoustics,

               Until peace reconquers both.
