No animal
ever gives itself
to the hunter’s knife
or shotgun
voluntarily.
That’s horse shit;
and no less
because
a brown-skinned
elder said it.
If you crave
life’s continuation,
the deer, the cow
and the badger do.
Every creature
that walks the Earth
or rides its thermals
wants to live.
They must, then.
Let us share their home.
There’s room
and sustenance enough
to forget the bullet,
to lay down the blade,
to forego the slaughter
of the trawler net.
