February In Scotland Poem by June Walker

February In Scotland



Jagged peaks of flour
in the distance,
a harshly bright
winter sun
casting long shadows
from Narnian trees.

A moorhen,
flushed out of canal reeds,
speeds across surface of water-
Jesus Christ lizard.

My squeaking shoes,
ingratiating cygnets,
begging for parental attention.

This strange insistence
makes me laugh,
transforming Narnia
into the Sound of Music,
and I sing.
