Camping

What is worse?

I can’t decide.

The rock in the
low of my back,
or the sound on
the other side
          of this thin
          aged weather-worn
          tarp between me
          and the wide, wide
          wood.                   Cracks, snaps, and,
                                       perhaps… a horn?

                                       No. It’s more
                                       like the sad howl
                                       of a wolf who’s
                                       calling the pack.

                                       With any luck
                                       maybe an owl
                                                 is just hoo…

                                                 Nope.                It’s surely
                                                                           something quite huge!

                                                                           So how does one
                                                                           seal up one’s tent
                                                                           more securely?
