Wildness (Moon Creek)

Whole pieces of moon fell into the creek at dawn

I watched them float feather like through the opaque mist

If you don't look you won't see...she said

 

Deeper into the woods

a compass

and an oak stick I have worn smooth where I grip with my right hand

 

Jack stops at Moon creek and drinks,

Cold water up to his dew claw

Pig leaps across and darts into the thicket after something

 

The woods has a wild silence

Though unseen, the animals are there, watching,

wild animals
