Canvassing

Topics: classic

And I thought of things,         things that come in small clutches,         tiny memories,         thoughts evoking the         approach of time or         footsteps about to open graves.         More things than the troubled         single entities we attach to them;         things marbled with the elasticity of rain,         rumours of war, pitch black leaves in the         bottom of a pond where the whelp of a dog         tries to outrun night.
