![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us the day was sunny and bright I was sitting on the bank of Bayou Lafourche all was good fine and dandy life couldn't be better life had never been better then the shadows begin to appear clinching the limbs of trees which stretched out over the water I could still see the suns reflection on the bayou made me think of heavenly choirs as it shone on top of lethargic water ducks were congregating where people threw food to them and began to squawk loudly then quickly took to the air one lone she-dog a mangy cur threw her nose in the air and howled piteously and, as she began to run toward me the darkness like black road tar engulfed us raising the hackles on the cur I felt something akin to an out-of-body experience it left me with thoughts strange, uncomprehending, meandering thoughts this took place six weeks ago the mangy cur my one and only friend looks at me growls deeply, quietly, within herself a growl of consternation ©September 17, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
