While cutting the weeds I see
a small bit of fur flash
along the fence.
A new species to me, I think,
something unexplored,
unknown.
The great question:
shall I chase it
or let it be, hoping
for it to be revealed
another time?
I let it go,
remembering the cautionary tale
of Columbus, recalling
that Audubon
killed what he documented.
