Caution

Dangerwalks on narrow paws. It

Prowlsand stalks on quiet haunches,

Shadowingthe tremulous and fearful

Massesto their peril.

 

Virgincorners wreak from watchful

Challengesof gut and grit

Puttingmind and matter to the test

Againstthe fit and feral.

 

Littlewonder caution speaks in

Measuredwhispers, “Warning, warning.

Takeyour time as you approach

Thisnameless path. Use extra care.”

Thatwants to bleed the bone by

Headingherald’s harbinger to

Sidestephazard’s baited snare.

Wherethe seas of fortune flow.
