The Fray

There’s something between homes:

one leaves and one stones;

as the fence and nettles tickle,

the rubbing fabric loses weave

and something finds a gap to nestle.

The fray spreads like disease.

It widens the sun bleached border.

A stag walks along to shield himself

from the harshness of either order.
