The Standoff Poem by Clive Culverhouse
The Standoff
standing in front of me
chest puffed out, ready
the snow had blanked
out everything yet
betrayal ran in little
bird hops across
what used to be the grass
and a robin
looked on expectantly
and although colour
needed an advocate
I wasn't going to fight
we had argued yesterday
I turned and went back in
winter having the last word
