TROUT   [5]

Annora Gollop: [1 , 2 , 3 , 4]
   
  There was nothing left to do
but head down the path
Night had fallen at six
and the air was chill

The others were long gone
and the moon was rising to a half
A little thrill of fear
was only sensible

He walked the silver strip
between the double shadowed borders
A mountain pelt of rough grass
now spat with dew

And he yelled
I’d like to build my house here
and
I’d call it mountain view
