walden freeman

me:
a candlelit table for two sits solitary in a large field
tinted yellow
a struggling tree stumbles from the woods
being chased by termites
disguised as lumberjacks
our saviors are second-guessing prophets
we've matured too early

walden freeman

you:
for our own good
nests a colony
of rebelling racoons opposed to thumbs
and already in warpaint

the field will soon be tinted red
