a felled tree blocked our path—round we went in the mud

i seemed to have a big thing for m-dashes in the poem’s early days. this line is super literal. i was walking with a few friends on a trail near kelburn castle and came to a point blocked by great big tree. so we got our shoes all muddy and carried on our way. a fun day enjoyed by all. i went to john lewis to look at mattresses later that day, then watched sport on tv. one of the all time great days.
