Claws Revealed…
Snuffling snout nudges at debris
Scattered across the ground,
Its greyish pelt lustrous
In the evening haze.
Warpaint striped black
Across dark eyes,
Like kohl on the regal mask
Of a Pharaoh, designed to amaze…
Rushing wind thrashes at branches
Shadowed across the ground,
Its boorish gusts furious
As four badgers graze.
Claws like honed knives
Shine and curl
Like pearl blades in the dusk
In a foraging and grunting craze…
