“Beckon Near Friend*”
cji
7/22/19
Often taken aback
what animals know
and where to turn
thus the mother bird
came to my stand
where she’d raised
three families past.
This new one now
only there’s a catch
as she pushed one
injured – deformed
hit by a vehicle
thus unable to eat;
Beckon near friend
my offspring has need.
So climbing down
approaching slow
knowing the request
gathering the young
mother then to retreat
helping the young
to cross the veil
human mercy
animal kindness
when beckoned near!

directions-followed
allowing little one to pass.)
