where the 'wild' elephant died
foot
prints..
the smell
the alluring smell
of water
the matriarch stands
the tribe hustles
but waits
she moves the skull
disturbed by wind
from the year that was
the vultures
did what they do
memories
they are (a) pain
nature
on the other hand
just
is
.

There are many more acts committed by man than those of animals which makes me cringe at the thought of 'civilized' nature.
I have long pondered what the human race and this planet would be like today had we not become so.

welcome your presence with joy Sis!! always!! a source of light in my day!!
the new updated link above would i guess explain itself!! it's not the one that inspired this...the one i remember from two decades ago..leaving me stunned... that one was of a matriarch stopping by the grave of a long dead calf and her herd on it's journey through that desert landscape patiently waiting till she paid her respects...
and we call them wild....

This piece has me weeping, my dear friend. I totally got it - I’ve always known the familia & bonds of elephants.
Thank you for sharing this.

True mammals find a certain equilibrium and balance with their environment
Only a virus will expand and consume until all available resources have been consumed.
Then it dies our or seeks another host to devour
Civilized may not be such a good thing after all
