Squirrel
I pick up
A piece of bread.
Dry and tasteless.
That tiny tip.
First slice on an oval loaf.
Hold it tight.
Both hands tight.
Hypervigilant.
Feet together.
Shoulders hunched.
Elbows tight.
By my sides.
Don’t look up.
Be no threat.
Nibble slowly.
Make it last.
Where are they.
All those others.
Those who watch.
Those who take.
A piece of bread
From a squirrel
Afraid to live.
Afraid to die.
If there is
A god of squirrels
Please take from me
One of these
Fear of life
Or fear of death.
It does not matter
Which you take.
