ON THE COBBLED PATH

ON THE COBBLED PATH

 

Out in the yard

beams a torrid sunlight,

silver speckles glisten

in the fluorescent whites

of lacy patterned trails,

delicately abstracted either

by slugs or perhaps snails.

Cat, glides across these near

luminous threads,

having scrutinised the

radius with his gesticulating head.

Briefly settled on a mossy bed,

swarms of black ants

evacuate at a strident pace.

Cat’s calculated invasion

has cost them their cosy, fertile space.

For some reason, the first thing that came to mind was The Beatles and Abbey Road. Am I the only one who felt that vibe? Loved the work, anything to bring me to Abbey Road
