A Fence in the Middle of the Forest
almost unnoticeable
camouflaged and freshly installed
round wooden vertical posts
blending in with thick trunks of trees
thin rectangular holed metal
wire fencing nailed on

almost invisible at dusk
big enough for a snake or squirrel
to crawl through
but not a fox or deer or a plump pigeon
with his head jammed up
and stuck like a half wit
jester in the hole of a guillotine
without any executioner in sight
to pull the cord
a division of the woods now
neighbourhoods of animals
birds spreading the news
from the other side
with a deep blue banana
hammock boat
moon in the azure sky
the smell of wild garlic plants
a steady gust of wind
long inhales and exhales
through the grass and leaves
the tops of trees swaying
