Camping (Free verse) by jessicazee
First a berry stain
on your pine needled sole
and you just say,
"look at the fire I made."
It's a quick death,
a campfired moth.
We can't rescue him,
the moth and the fire already tell their tale.
Ash so light,
wings disappear
flying, dying
again toward the canopy.
"The crescent moon
is an illusion,â you say,
âThe meteors were last night;
you were so wrong.â
Tomorrow our tent will be wet.
Why did we pay for firewood?
Our site has some shade,
mulberry trees
whispering "please shake us
we need to let things go."
