Off the road
By Tom Fallon
off
the road,
into tall grasses,
wild bushes, ferns
green, dripping
rainwater globules
scooching
I am surrounded
by green leaves, my head
equal to wild green
bushes
tall grasses and ferns,
pristine water globules
quivering on green leaves
equal to my self
I lay down
in wild green bushes,
tall grasses, ferns green,
water globules
splittering down on
my face
I am
wet and laughing
lying
in wild green bushes,
tall grasses, ferns
green, I am wet
and laughing
I am alive!
