In Our Nature

sun bleached wicker on the front porch

huffing morning honeysuckle

my thoughts buzzed like blood fat mosquitoes 

my chest rose like smoke 

my veins ran like a white-tail 

nature crooked her finger at me 

she promised relief 

and I fled into the swamp

 

never to be seen again

Oh No!

We must see you again. We must. That is the last word on that. This poem can not be autobiographic or even metaphorical (swamp has many possibilities, however). You like all those things, especially "...sun bleached wicker on the front porch..."  huh? :D
