Caveat: Poem #1140 “The philosopher in the wilderness”

worried thoughts   bold plans   internal doubts
early dusk

optimistic words   verbal hesitations   pertinent questions
black caterpillars

long pauses   happy suggestions   convoluted rationalizations
aimless slugs

they might
hope
to change
minds
and nevertheless
we remain
obdurate

looming fog   still forest   patient spider
irresolute conversation

– a quennet
picture
