Nuanced Wildlife- Racoons
Composed in night
The ringed dark moves
Delicate washed grins
The sound of garbage bins
Wandering nocturns
Fingers dexterous puzzle solvers
Fastidious cleaners
Whiskers to whisper passageways
Called unto from scented obligation
A shadow in the shadows
Movement to mimic the waning day
Peering from hollow, crevice aloft
Encircled delight in the glimpse of bottlebrush tail
Gentle gaze from accentuated dark.
