Savagery
While I understand
it is a savagery
that overtime will be
abated
though not
extinguished
and that it grows from
intuition
and not
understanding
I still find it terrifyingly poignant
to watch a shrieking toddler
chase a pigeon
with such ferocious determination
as if
were he able
he would catch each of us
and crush us
between
those sticky
little fingers.
