A movement
Something on the air
a half
mile off
in the bush --
an intruder?
Never not
on the alert --
Who goes there?
startled to flight
the ever vigilant
dik-dik bolts
at the merest
hint
of the presence
of you
a half
mile off
in the bush --
an intruder?
Never not
on the alert --
Who goes there?
startled to flight
the ever vigilant
dik-dik bolts

of you
