Unapologetic

 

Unapologetic

 

The porcupine swishsteps 

across the road 

 

to saunter with unexpected 

grace 

 

up

the steep and snowy bank

 

leaving a trail like 

a zipper

 

or a creek that’s left 

its bed

 

eager to explore the peelings 

of its own hunger

 

as peace runs

unapologetic 

 

amid the shifting quills 

of circumstance.
