Deep Wounds

I always wondered how animals recover from deep wounds

No hospitals in the forest

How do they lick their wounds and live?

 

There comes a moment to live or die

stand or fall.

This Fall right now

I imagine a fox somewhere torn twisted

bleeding on pine needles.

 

Surivival is continuous work.

 

But limbs don’t ache forever.

How do they stop?

 

Somehow they scar,

Old animals have these limbs that work somehow.

 

I stare into the mirror

At the freak of this wound

And I wonder how animals recover from deep wounds.
