Natural

Birds tweet, the scuttle of feet on broken twigs and fallen leaves,

Calm, tranquil, natural.

Bright summer days,

Countryside

And sickness.

The rush of saliva and tightening of the stomach.

Staring at an empty toilet bowl...

Bright gemstones,

Concentric rings.

Soft beneath your feet,

A croak,

A scuttle,

Climbing trees,

Spring up -

Fall down

Warmth and cold and sick...
