Life Song

for the hearts of the animals,

the last to pinpoint

the last to target,

for the strongest

hearts of the animals, beathing,

the hearts of the animals of

the forest,

of the blue seas and plains,

for the hearts of the animals

of the mountains,

for the hearts of the animals

of the arctic,

for mammal hearts, insect hearts,

bird hearts, reptile hearts,

for all that remains of the animals,

their hearts,

beating with ours, pumping hard and fast

as they run from the

apex predator
