walking home this misty morning,
the gulls circling in the grey.
the world is still;
unwinding,
slowly winding.
but the crows’ ominous cry
echoes in the silence,
as they flee their entrail feast,
something foreboding;
forewarning from the trees.
but still i cross and still i wander,
closer now than i ever was.
the world is still
and i am moving;
unwinding,
winding still.
