I opened the clear
Glassed doors.
Walking past
The burgers yearning,
Sitting atop the grills searing, burning.

The lakes that ran
Off the leaves faces,
As deer’s pierced
Around bushes that
Mustard the swimming
Swans,
As each tasted the green
Velvet of the Northern countryside.

To the north I stared,
Saw a man wash his face,
With water so fluid,
The clear lines
Opened a mirror
To his crust, filled, dotted eyes.

I retreated back
To the cabin,
Unstitched the
Wooden doorknob,

Stretching my body
Across the moons sofa,
As the countryside
Lay still under
The moons curve side.

I was with you each glorious step of the way.

P.S.
Please save burger for me!

I enjoyed this step into the country. The simplest things can bring great pleasure.

Love & country living,

"Unstitched the

a beautiful turn of phrase Tomer
