Blame the prey
You can tell the sheep
to look less delicious,
but that won't prevent the wolves
from getting hungry.

Opportunistic Carnivorism
I stood there and watched a shroud.
Of nature.
Reveal the universe to me.
As the magpipe ate a pigeon.
I reflected on my.
Assumptions.

I gaze in their eyes
knowing how violent
being inside a body
you shouldn't have
to experience is.

He Told Me He's Doing A Wildlife Film
Gianna got
so jealous
after seeing
her fiancé Eric
naked in the river
with her maid of honor
Deborah and Eric's chimpanzee.

A crab walks forward.
Wait, No they walk sideways right?
I guess they're broken

Living on leopard time
Living on leopard time,
Carrying heavy loads,
Borrowed,
I don't know who borrowed it -
Or the reason why -
But they must love me,
And want me around.

what (they call improvement)
rows
and rows
of established
trees
cut down,
animals displaced
from
their homes,
the land
stripped,
life giving
waters drained,
all for
the sake
and benefit
for mankind,
and this
is what
they call
improvement.

Attic squirrels
please rest, relax, hibernate
keep it down up there
World peace is achieved
one loving soul at a time
siblings are we all

Don't Step In It
Plum tree full, over ripe
mushy under my bare foot
bear scat on the ground
mushy under my bare foot
bear scat on the ground
