a dead desiccated flat as a furry crepe squirrel on the gravel alongside a rotting macadamn road

                                                                                                         another

peels a squirrel up once a weekten days

he gently picked them up

                            his mother once upon a time  alarmedPut it down, it’s filthy, writhing with germs, you’ll get sick touching it.

    he disregarded her

was breaking her in early

                             frankly

any adultanyone who believed hed be dissuaded from doing what he wanted to dodeemed  correct

on the shoulder a stand of slender eucalyptuses sagebrush at their roots lifting a fannedsprig he gentled the squirrel under it

                      There little one size of a tea sauce  Perhaps thas some comfort

he did not know who he was assuring

 

he stood vigilant couplethree minutes no prayers

                                                        and if earthlings were due prayers

it would be those who were not Homo sapiens sapiens

    never ever a more ungrateful animal
