1970
to my uncle
shifting on
hardplastic seat
of darkwood chair
– crack –
elbow-lean on
relief carvings on
table-edge
– creak –
to execute a
perfect tree
on the horizon
with just two strokes
one brown
one green
I knew then
to put down
my compass plans
for every detail
but I am only
just now
realising it
