Humanitarian Pause
Noshing time
for but a moment muzzled
to bring vaccinations
up to date
Far from a ceasefire
this is but a pause
without relief
for the pending prey
it is palpable
The paws that pace
the hackles that raise
the eyes that are laser fixed
that a purpose bred
purpose trained
war dog
lays in wait
