Alert Positivity…
Just a head. Inquisitive, assertive.
Woodland warmth discernible, tolerable.
Wren dithers between leafy branches,
Aircraft drones above and magpies sweep
Between trees, announcing their presence
With typical clacking fanfare.
Just one head, one badger, duly attentive…
Sunlight, a strip of sinewy gold, passive,
Flickers across its back, gleaming, malleable.
Eager, from its sett it quickly ventures,
Feeding, scrabbling, wary. Then from deep
Between trees, announcing their presence
With typical watchful fanfare,
Three other badgers appear, hungrily furtive…
