Where The Wild Things Roam

If they had not been forced to the mountainside,
Would she have thrived instead of turning feral?

Exhausting strength to keep family pack safe,
Her justice was swift though lovingly careful

Her youngest had wrestled with the backlash
Isolation can bring by its drawn out denial

She’d had to counter challenges to leadership,
As if they both had been born to be rivals

She reflected upon the latest information:
It was good the younger male had stayed away

She already had “a passel of puppies”
And did not need to feed one more stray

Now with injuries tucked in bright meadow,
She still skirts along shadows of hedge

Deflecting any new male advances
To ensure that she keeps a clear head.

Homeward Bound

On the treadmill of life
Gotta watch for your exits

‘Cause once you’re on it
There ain’t second chances

You can shuck corn all day
And wish ya had braces

But that don’t gain a pass
To Nordstrom’s or Macy’s

Gotta sidestep that reel
For your life to feel real

If you wanna go higher
And not whither expire

While you’re makin’ those plans
Gotta reach out your hands

And step off when that chance
Chasse’s you parliance

Now you ken close to me
If you wanna be set free

Ain’t no man gonna pay
For what he’s taken away

And your children once grown
Will find their own homes

So you gotta befriend
On thine own self depend

Keep an eye on that ball
However near or gone far

Make a promise so true
It’ll come back to you

When that timin’ is right
Yonder day into night

That sweet wind comin’ ’round
And you’ll hop to the ground

Find it solidly
There to guide you

Chasse’s is as “sashay” like “swing your partner, dosido (in square dance)” and parliance is like it comes to catch your attention to takes its chance.
