With Kindnesses

By Eadgar Anton Crowe

Brown against white dress
This beautiful, precious forest
Mesmery in her bones
Sings of home

Silt drifts the riverbeds
Not a kind world but perhaps
With kindnesses

And catching fire, her heart rains
With man or want
Will this desire bring pain again?

I wander wishfully her boroughs
And silently her heart,
Might I grow here too? - My starling
My darling forest fire
