love it :)
You have the tree as a being when you used "who was a master of time" but switched to it being a thing or object in the next stanza, using "it" showed me- these need to match, not contradict. a man's reality (apostrophe)Really like the lines: There is no end to these roads/ they are as twisted and coiled as I am. Beautiful! The last 2 lines are kind of a let down, I think, with awkward phrasing.

father's old - I feel you use quick rhymes sometimes instead of finding or using better-crafted sentences, especially since you have a gift with words
cannot (one word) unless you think it is more "poetic" to keep them separated- I really do not think it is, I believe it just detracts from the flow. bleedin' red...witherin'-saggin'-stirrin' ...
In the second stanza, when you use the word daydreaming, grammatically it appears you are saying the dead rabbits are daydreaming... No comma between decorated and with the head...

Ending is very powerful. Very sad. 1 point: you use "vhs tape called memory" and then you say "like and old film". They mean the same thing really, should change "like an old film" to something that differs more, I suggest.

yes I would. I'd use everything inside your head. If only I could.
You were lucky she had her full complement of limbs. My midget wife has a major deficit in the limbs department.

conny lingers on Nadine by nentwined 2 Feb 2021, 8:32 AM
This reminds me when my midget wife Conny (she of the one arm but no legs) got washed out to sea but unfortunately floated back.
Not so much a pimple, more of a rancid boil.

Santa is an anagram of Satan. He is a well known pervert.
This is a wonderful story. Snoggos sounds my kind of guy.
Driving in Ireland is fun, especially if you have only one hand, like my wife Conny.
