I stand in the bush,
Silent.
You thunder past,
Loudly.
You do not see me,
Short-sighted.
Just as well, it’s your right:
Angry
Humanity tries to destroy you,
Short-sighted.
– inspired by poetry reading for rhinos and elephants, Grahamstown, 4 October 2014, on the occasion of the Global March for Elephants and Rhinos.
