Inner Woman Volume 2
70 Marsh Marauder

The duckling

arose from a mottled teal

egg

Two days old

His destiny teeters

Cross

he peeks

through purple fronds

of sprouting reeds

and scuttles into

cool still waters

Feet churning

he appears serene

But a shadow looms

rising from the depths

The whirlpool beckons

Escape or

Death?

From below or beside

He chooses life

He skirts the eddies

The alligator rolls

Caught

And the duckling

peeps

Mother quacks calling her son

Peace

Tranquility

Returns

Until next time
