And then life emerged
somehow again, exposed and naked
poking its nose into the large cold unwelcoming world
Goin' my way?
Love
of it looks out
from the culverton Marin
where the undergroundcreek lets out
this time of year, curious
and not inappropriately
shy
skulking
away from traffic
back into the dark
so fraught
out there
and perilous
but soon enough
the young raccoons
ascend boldly to scare
off, then pilfer
the food of the meek
outdoor night cat
main chance the defiant ones
opportunistic survivalists
would live to exactly
22 1/2
in "the wild"
here
on suicide street
if they make it
as long as their first November
it will have been on nerve alone
