Tunnel traffic. Northbrae tunnel, Berkeley: photo by TJ Gehling, 20 December 2013
Adolescent faun with soft unformed horns
wandering back yards and side paths for a drink
mother having lately disappeared
to be living is to be among those lost
in traffic with the three surviving crows
of the family of five that was here last week
swooping for scraps between lethal speeders
on the freeway feeder
Fresh crow corpses crushed feather bones by
side of roadway
Cars racing past nonstop uphill to swell
the flood of cars racing in and out of the Tunnel
