The First Walk for Too Long



He took a walk in the wood.
His first for too long.
Light shone through the trees 
And hit him hard.
Nature’s charms had been wiped out 
By his city-fixations...
That ceaseless desire to get somewhere; to achieve something.
And all the while this little wood
- With its hundred gifts -
Didn't search for anything.
Didn't need anything.
It just was what it was.

He, in violent opposition,
Was outside the wood's endless present -
Its indefinite nows.
His dog, too, knew what to look for.
He no longer knew.
The wood gave him nothing concrete.
He felt anxious in its atomic moments.
In its present tense
And in its natural sense -
The haecceities which escaped
His categorising mind.
