Crooked

I stare through my pain
As the world outside
Moves on.


The lone rook asleep
In the giant beech.


I am that rook
Surveying my domain.


Silently observing all
That comes before me.


Head under wing I am
Safe in my shelter
Motionless.


My presence unnoticed by
Dumb, blind eyes.


Those who fail to
Notice or acknowledge
My existence.

Only those who look
Hard enough can reach
Me.


I remain on my bough
Solitary, silent, alone.

Bec.
