Book of Treasures

I was looking for wild berries today,
but the smell of wet soil was so intoxicating
after the rain that I spent more time rubbing
my nose into the ground pretending to
look for potatoes instead .... thats when
I found a lil red bound book, tucked away,
close to the roots of the big banyan.
It said, for my darling Vincent on the first page
.....human romance ! cool ! So, I spent the rest
of the day reading and here's a sample...

The Last Encounter

Enter Nerkesht of Engelbrook.
Enter Vincent of Roserfield.

'The sky has grayed,
A star has set,
One cow died by my bed.
The signs are here !
You know them, my darling Ner.
Pack my bags, dont cry please.
By the time dawn is here,
I promise you wont feel a thing.'

Dear Vincent,
You were right on that dreadful night,
Dawn and Winter both came by,
With a potion of poison green,
And once I drank,
I was her and she was me.
Then I heard a lullabye,
Now all is well, all is numb.


Personally I find human romance
amusing , they say it absorbs people
into a different world , and once you
are absorbed, the past world goes up in a
puff ! I often think how different it might
be to say me getting absorbed in eating carrots.
I think its the same thing, just that my
world has stayed intact. I don't think
even human romance can change the forest -
its been like this for years !
