Poem, Consumed By A Rodent, Breaking Myths

Tasting Adventure
June 17, 2024

in the center of the labyrinth, grass remains
horned field mouse, looking in, quirks whiskers
scuttles along inner circle’s edge, then braver
approaches the single tenderest stalk of Timothy
nibbling, nibbling, ignoring twine in trail
ignoring dryad’s tree, centered magnificent
ignoring Timothy’s pleas, tender outer green
giving way to bullish median, heartfull goodbye
