Kim Rodrigues Poet Tanka

JUXTAPOSING-longer title included

Creature from the black lagoon or God juxtaposing
                      something wild just in time for me to cross its path

peacock’s crossed the line
tail feathers insouciant
on my side of road
replaced the turkey vultures
that previously unnerved
