Cocooned

Let's workshop this poem about how nature protects us

Cocooned

Her notice that regret
has crashed down 
too late upon her, 
a hungry mortal for whom
just days before 
this known deathbed 
the big issue was 
Chinese or pizza, 
reveals to her
that nature’s guardian
timing extends 
from zebras endorphined 
in lion mouths to her.
