The chattering of the elders

 The chattering of the elders

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 murmuring above me

the debate swirling, rejoining

moving beyond this space

like a stamping herd of mustangs

melting into the forest

beyond our yard.
