Crocodile Hunter

for Lane

When Steve Irwin died
People were really sad
“What a shame,” they said.

But I did not see it that way.

How many of us have ever
Wrestled a crocodile?

Or thought not to tame
But observe in awe
Our wild being.

Thirst

If friendship were a litmus test
Sam’s would have a pH of 7

Like water, he is neutral:
Clear
Cohesive
Vital

Dream of Red Lentils

Snuggling in glass jar

Carbon copied
Versions
Anticipating the same fate

brothers and sisters
kindred spirits
soul mates

Wait
