IN CANTERBURY FOREST

Here I find myself
in Canterbury Forest,
Where the ravens leave
their feathered wings on the ground
and we walk without trepidation,
the only thing holding us back, ourself.

And I walked upon the footsteps
I left with her here, long ago,
where we walked together, over a year ago.

And as my worn shoe soles
trapsy their way across
the old footsteps in the dirt,
I can't help but miss her.
