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.
