To what it would be like
To come back again
In another form.
I thought about survival,

The Trapper and the Brave, Part I
It was back in nineteen-nineteen
when Timlin Rivers checked his traps,
by one he found just a weasel skin,
did not know what to make of that.
Why would bother to raid a trap
but leave the pricey skin behind?
Who’d take a weasel for the meat
