Golden Mountain Foot
Earwigs heard
emerging harried
from their snug of rot
sunflowers - a home - composting
off-yellow backs on dead-yellow plaque
death-driven bedfellows
Light, so less temperate in a rain shadow
spruce saplings fanned - a someday fence
sentinels in trimmings
spiderweb terraces
spanned interim gaps
The scurriers told me all
Bare gritty feet
risking all on bike pedal teeth;
now I'll nevermore ride open-toed...
Funereal tender killdeer wailed - ashen chirps
crushed in heart
even before their eggs were
It's always wise to hone your moanings...
Dusk drew it's own shrouds
exhaling murk
like graveyard vapors

Some childhood memories aren't all candy apples and merry-go-rounds.
Well captured, AtomikOne.

I love throwing the imagery from my childhood into my work, its like splattering paint on a canvas with a sling of the arm, I dig it. very earthy tones and vocab with a bit of childhood disfigurement thrown in for good measure. well penned.
