nature calls .. .

smoke grey the backcloth             
  fallen out of bartered skies           
indigo philosophical, the heron     
  wings cut and curled             
      reverence to heaven   

bantam barred partridge
    woken from their fright
catapulted; gymnastic padres
    their habits traced in red                 
        natives bracken bred       

wind stalks the traveller       
    hooded, dull to sound
quixotic perceptions; bird-life
    encircle mystic minds
          culm grows out the ground   

aggregation of sensibility
    autumn chills bleak, unkind
conclude too much plenitude
    offers keen vicissitude
          to an artistic mind

nature calls; speaks
    patience her honest shrive
maximum immunity from conflict
    frees us of deception
          fake news, misinformation, lies
