First Encounter With a Squirrel
Unsuspecting and unafraid
Bless your naivety!
Dashing from out your home in the woods
Just to sit by me.
You cannot know what I am;
The race I represent.
Has not badger told you, warned you?
Rock-ledged bobcat, down-bent!
Or are there some among us
I, one such fortunate
Spilling or not, nibblings like secrets
Innate wildness placate?
