When A Maggot Roles Into The Stream~ Just My Dream Poem by Chuy Amante

The boy kicks a squirrel carcass
into the fresh water stream.
Its maggots are devoured efficiently
by the emotionless rainbow trout
Papa bear grabs him
and feasts organically
Black bear is culled by hunters
seeking a bear blanket
and fine lean meat for the winter

until the winter of man's life arrives
cooling his flesh
and its return to
mother earth is in earnest
providing generously
for the gluttonous maggots
continuously
without concern for status
nor quality nor race

worm poop is just worm poop is just
star dust, bio-available minerals

thought, love, music, light, truth
have no form and they end not,
they move outward, expanding

may the body and the soul
dance creation timelessly
