Acorns

Thoughts dance below a moon
-lit stage as shadows are often
fueled by the penetrating gaze.
Lonely grey squirrel pulled the curtain
strings revealing an acorn audience splitting
lively to witness what endangered feel,
open arterials flowing like the gutted
sacrificed life-giving white-tail.
Cycled nourishment wake is released
from the breaching trout for the pure
to face down into the trough and feed
digesting a contagious virus
capable of sun rises.
