the witness point
on eyes of a bark less tree
residing in the gypsy globe
take notice
of her beloveds worn shirt
the buff cream
of Charolais cattle
sedate , too damaged
for this wilderness land
of dangerous freedom .
she is a runner
like antelope
always alone
with her solar smile
silent , so hungry
biting her lip
take notice
a zephyr lily
looking for the
promised land .
he is a rare sighting
a god
disquised as a man
spreading nightmare
to her standing there
with no movement
anymore
weary of this
peaceful slavery
where
someone else
holds the surveyors transit .
does he not see
her climbing out
from the hole in his eye
terrified
there at the
witness point .

Beautiful.

I can feel your weariness, deer Meg. Unseen, maybe, but not invisible. At least not to me and your other readers. Be well, my friend.

Thanks Dale but I only took the second photo …I don’t know who took the 2 driftwood photos as I found them on Pinterest and the storm photo is off Facebook within a series from one of the Traverse City publications and no credits printed … Sundays storm was classified as a tornado with winds over 100 mph …so devastating , Glen Arbor without power for 5 days …wishing you and family a pleasant weekend …

I see the antelope in the background, looking back towards the witness point– towards the gentle cup of space the zephyr lily is holding up for the sun to bless, the opening that refracts the rays arriving continuously from the promised land. Hope the heart churning settles, and the wooden floors of your heart are washed clean, revealing the eye still there in the barkless trees…
Love
