11,988. AT HERMIT'S POND

AT HERMIT'S POND
Some gladiator kid was
cutting a tree. The old way,
with a hatchet, not even an 
ax. I'm not sure that was right.
It's very deep and dark here,
in the middle of the starry night;
makes me feel like something 
else is going on. Something
strange and distant; nothing
to be alarmed over, per se, 
just to notice.
-
Like Pilgrims coming over the
ridge. Odd colonials, with fifes
and drums. Guys wearing rags
over bloodied wounds.
