Nettles are my Nemesis. (a poem)


Summer skies
A gentle walk
Two hands, locked
Broad horizons
Limitless
Future brighter than ever

Birdsong
A gentle breeze
Cloudless beauty, above
Swelling hearts
Timeless
Love stronger than ever

A stumble
Left foot into a ditch
Too busy with sunset to notice path’s edge
Nature’s nastiest plant awaits
My leg, welted
Stinging like a Godless bastard
