The chattering of the elders - v2

 The chattering of the elders - v2


echoing across the chasm

the green space, the yard

the chattering of the elders

a debate, a protest,

high up in the treetops

in the silence of the storm.


no clouds visible

but the wind a gale

a presence I can sense

a murmuring above me

building subsiding,

repeating again.


the debate swirling, arguments,

positions spoken, rejoining

moving beyond this space

like a stamping herd of mustangs

melting into the forest

beyond our yard.
