Family
Theres a place near the creek behind our house
where a crooked tree stands
With branches low, I sit
over the creek bed and watch
The tiny minnows that swim upstream
and play their games of tag in the whirlpools
The bullfrog moans his deep referee
to their games in the clefts of the rocks
A big black crow sits a few branches higher
watching the game as I
And caws out a laugh to
the frog's instruction
of time out
The minnows scatter at my shadow
as the sun peeks out from the clouds
And the crow spreads his wings
to attack the frog
for such an untimely call
All the while the snake
sits hid in tall grass
watching which one of us may get too close
