Vera

Vera Death is everywhere this Sunday morning many dead trees where I walk renewal everything has to go, but a dead baby rabbit blocks my way the night had been too cold and her mother killed by a fox. A steep track I stumble over an exposed root or was it death that had a bit of fun, the sky and earth swivel I have to get up before big earth ants carry me away there are millions of them ten thousand of then dragging me underground starting with my gums then my tongue fleshy ***** and reluctant balls are reserved for the queen she will be displeased and give my genitals for her slaves to chew on. I have to bend down again to retrieve my camera full of ants I pee on them and the scurry away I have to buy a new camera but why should I record what no one will ever see, a reluctance to accept morality. The track is too steep another defeat only nature witness my tears of frustration, back home I watch a TV program called “Vera” this mad woman police inspector wish I had her obsession to find the truth I still struggle to find out what it means.

So sad how we scrape bare the beauties of such a place as this, the earth.
