NATURE’S WAY
Shiny as a polished boot
the small armoured tank scuttles
watched by an eager bird.
*
A boot shakes the ground
the bird sees its pace
marks the race and swoops
as the boot descends.
*
Tasting the acid
of a soft belly
she drops the beetle
in time for the boot.
*
The beetle is detritus
while the size-thirteen black boot
marches on oblivious.
