THIS CURIOSITY OF MINE... poem

Image
There is a brook beyond the yard and beyond the yard I must never stray  I long to rake my fingers through her cherub little waves. Dip my toes and get lost in a cleansing interstellar daze  How foolish, to thirst for a tiny creek when I have hills and fields I could explore for years. However, I find no satisfaction in overturning stones I am expected to overturn.  I want to lift the mountains hidden behind the backdrop sky, snatch up the slimy things scurrying beneath them, and feed the birds singing by  More than anything I want to lap at the stream beyond the yard and feel the warmth of an honest sun on the back of my neck.  I hunger for something more than these fields and hills in this shadow land. And that is what makes me a strange man.  Benjamin Derr
