damn, that kid put him in a tight spot.
do this, do that.
beats being back at home,
or sleeping in the dirt.
he's managed to fill his belly
with the last of that seal he wrangled.
poor guy,
it was almost dirty --
come up ashore to whelp out
cayetano grabs the whelp,
the mom lunges,
and it's all over.
life ending before it begins.
he supposes there's worse fates
then finding your windpipe crushed in
choking out on your own oxygenated blood
is one of life's little ironies:
killed by the red liquid meant to nourish you.
his errand draws him south.
there's a salty tang on the wind
riddled with something a little off:
a body somewhere, he had to guess.
turns out he's not so hungry
his stomach's been off ever since that night
even now it protests
as he zigs and zags along the bluff
searching
with one ear trained back.
