MAGDALENA
1 9 9 3
 

In cold recluse she finds herself away from the other children of the realm, seeking pleasure in the skyline of oak and pine. Here, a moment. Distant. The mossy hollows in the tree trunks were stuffed with grainy trinkets for the upcoming winter, acorn’s galore. Wondrous dark eyes peer up at the branches. The bustle of New Valdev was barely audible out here in the woods this time of year, and with it the young girl finds her delight. The wildlife thinks her presence tolerable at best. Upon the fluorescent orange glow of the sun each morning did they find themselves accompanied by the clumsiest of Man, tripping over twigs to get to them. She sits here, now, with a fox. Crumbs sprinkled the forest floor. A harvest snack, hearty for animals and girls alike; Mama’s bread loaf. It was not to be missed by many, but enjoyed by a few. The birds were inclined to agree. Burnt leaves crumbled as they dropped. No soul was told of her escapades at the crack of dawn, but she did not hide it either. The wind was too violent on their door, slamming it shut with the hinges barely recovering thereafter. A congregation of wood mice had flocked to her feet. What power she possessed! To have the woodland love her (is what she thought), and so half of her loaf was passed around. Charity was not a word in her vocabulary yet. The weeds spiralled around the log in such an eccentric manner, showing off. Distant cockerel call. The day has begun. In cold recluse she finds herself away from the other children of the realm, seeking pleasure in the skyline of oak and pine. Here, a moment. Distant. A dream of quietude.
