Day 5: NaPoWriMo - In the Flat

Used Day 5's prompt and used the photo below and took inspiration from the Basque poem 

"TEILATUETAN LAN EGITEN DUEN JENDEA" by Harkaitz Cano

Sure they are hungry wild dogs

Flea-bitten deep to the bone and glory

Here in the flatlands all of us are bone deep

And flat, the land so flat trees hide.

We’re all hungry for shadows

we build like the moles, hills out of the flatness

to hide our bodies

from the sun and sky

to build ourselves the possibility of having a shadow cast

against our landscape and turn our flatlands

into more than the plane that we know

but a place where we can bask in the dark

and not feel so wide, so exposed

and the hungry dogs feel less hungry

our bodies no longer the tallest thing in the flat.
