neighborly quarrel

plans lay flat
maps strewn on walls
trails here
buildings there
steeping thoughts
judgements

ideas broad
answers few
eyes dart
piercing glares
friends
foes
strangers

hands shake
cordial  exchange
heat brimming
cluttered concerns
intelligent ignorance
neglect
deflect
raw

community meeting
make no friends
enemies present
deer missed fence
hooves clipped
standing
walk away
injured

no resolve
informed in piecemeal 
strategic
withdraw
regroup
crow flies
aerial vantage
perspective

seasoned silence
acceptance
expected
voice trembling
advice
received valid
switzerland
amongst coyotes
a deer

neighborly quarrel
in the forest

home
