about

Scratch away the surface
It will become apparent
At night they hide, all things are grey
The truth a wet transparent

But don’t try scratching water
Forked tongues become a knife
The night has ears, so bite your lips
It’s frog eat fly, it’s pond life

———————

We couldn’t understand why there were so many frogs and toads and spiders in a confined but secluded idyllic spot. There was no obvious pond in the immediate vicinity. Then the smell from the early morning and late night trundle of oversized lorries down narrow country lanes started to intrigue us. The leafy glade hid an industrial compound which turned out to be a facility for recycling fallen beasts, their unwanted flesh and bones deemed unsafe even for pet food. When decomposition of abandoned earthly forms is your business, your main by-product is flies. Lots of flies.

Later in the summer we decamped to Norfolk in the hope of filming some newts, water boatmen and other surface tension wonders, but sadly even the frogs and toads couldn’t protect us from the invisible airborne enemy.

Stay safe
