Without Me

every night un
tucutucu (gopher-
like rodent) digs &
taps from a gallery
underground, zips
out for green bites
Ctenomys

the head swivels
on una lechucita
(burrowing owl)
statue-like on
a vineyard pole
patrolling the day
for ratones (mice)
Athene cunicularia

the common tero
(lapwing) shrieks
tero-tero all day
on land & on high
all night, bedded
in a low branch of
the willow tree
Vanellus chilensis




las huellas (foot
prints) trace the
route of un zorro
gris
(gray fox),
clocking night
across the dunes
Pseudalopex griseus
