“Did Man in Tent Starve to Death?”
The headline broke-
I felt my breath.
The trains
The rails
The clackety-clack.
Maybe he died of a heart attack?
The tent was hidden in some brush.
A dog sniffed foul
Let out a howl
His master’s scowl
Engaged a hush –
Towards village did they rush.
A family near there is missing a man.
A brother-
A husband-
Find dad if you can.
“He liked to go camping,”
Was all that she said.
Could he be the one who has ended up dead?
Did he hope to get lost in that overgrown place?
Near the rails-
Far from trails-
Lord knows his travails.
But it’s down to forensics; he hasn’t a face.
Did they hide from each other
In the tents of their heads
Even when close together
In their marital beds?
Observations, obfuscations, and other oddities.. Enjoy, and thanks for reading. Tom
