it could have been winter

it could have been winter
but
I never knew because
the mist had come down
and
the memory belonged
to someone else
it was
a photograph
from another place
someone else’s moment
with captured trees
bare to the bole
flooded
and
I never knew
if it was river
lochan or
ocean
but
it could have been winter

Glasgow poet and photographer, Donna Campbell posted some random phone photos. I was moved to respond to this one of misty trees captured with a fish-eye lens.

It was just a thought…
