In search for firewood

oops

below the thin line of blue sky
mimicking the evening's tint,
the great north wood is marked
deep, sombre, silent and dark.
and despite the oppression
of the trees closing in, along
the braided ribbon of a river bed
walks two young boys.
they stop
at the evidence of stale blood
on the ground,
a sign of a violent death
three days before,
something wild ate here.
they move on taking the torturous
path through the forest looking
for the dead wood amongst the
gnarled roots of the broom and
the birch that slightly hem the
foot of the mountain.
when they peer
towards its summit
they see nothing
but it's hidden heights
in the thick of the full clouds
