vertigo for me
i hate towers and bridges,
and this one here is totally see through steel mesh.
shudder.
yet i persevered.
i could see for miles
and miles
and miles
and miles
and miles
and miles
and miles. here
from the road to the new place i call home
where this big one
greets me as the sun
goes down.
inside i examine
a woodcock
a strange bird
that i learned
when i fist came to the north country.
his call is odd,
his eyes way up high
his body awkward
and yet he flies here in spring and was, until a couple of days ago
still found here.
this one will be a meal.
i must get used to having fresh fowl around
as well as fresh vegetables,
and my favorites,
the wild berries.
spirit of place

ReplyDeleteYou were reward for your bravery V - what a vast horizon...and then those close up moments as well. It is looking lovely - we are sweltering!
ReplyDeletelee, i can't help myself!
ReplyDeletefiona, yes, i wasn't brave though, i almost crawl up the thing!
Hi V - I agree with F - it was worth creeping up that tower - often so good to be able to look down on or across the landscape. Go well. B
