where does it go...

 

 

"No, I really am sorry" he said.

"I truly don't remember that

Any memories of that time and place

that happening

have all gone away back

far far back somewhere 

back to some place where the grey 

matter  dissolves to ether.............."

Crows

 

There were crows in the jackpine tops this morning

yelling their presence for anyone to hear 

There were other crows higher up racing

down the frozen wind

The little live trapped mouse scampered across the snow and then onto a spruce bough

after it's release

product of an age softened heart

I yelled back at the crows and they fled

and a rough-legged hawk pushing eagle size

Soared in expanding circles higher above the whole of the thing
