Country Living


More than

the day the eagle

flew with me

for a half a mile

Than the pair

of mallards sheltering

below the bridge

after the flood

Than a field flock

of wild turkeys

in afternoon's

sweet sepia sun

Than kind neighbors

checking in

just to check

or after a big

rain: making sure

the road is passable

More than the fox

bark after first frost or

children playing

in the creek

But all of this

and more. . . .
