Countryside amusements
a boundless sky,
rolling fields,
cows and sheep scattered here and there
bright and calm,
fluffy clouds
a tractor droning two farms away
“too busy here,
let’s move on.”
a smudge of wild grass,
heather crawling,
a lone tree hunched in a mismatched marriage to the wind
“perfect.
let’s hover.”
one figure strides
between village and vale
strong and purposeful pace, but alas speed is relative
a bright light,
unearthly suspension,
the figure vanishes
he will return with nothing
but a wild story
he himself can scarcely believe
“snatching earthlings again?
you’re grounded.”

I love the imagery you create here Atakti.
"a lone tree hunched in a mismatched marriage to the wind" Great line, great end and a wonderful write from start to finish.

Thanks, Magdalena! It's a serious/normal scene interspersed with frivolous backstage action.. amused me, anyway.
