A Desert Moment
I notice this man
Plunging where he should not go
Between bird and snake,
Separate them so
No harm, but foul as I see
The competition.
And yet the mercy
Is exquisite, the outcome
A wise peace indeed.
Except the bird hurts,
Permanently changed by this
And snake still hungers.
All for unborn chicks
Bird and man have saved.

The chicken crossed the road. That's poultry in motion.
