Poetry from the book {Bunny Hop} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas

The eagle soars eight feet above my head

I sit on the granite couch like buhda

I turn into a stone sculpture

The water on Sunday Lake slaps the shore

I could hear the muffled flap of wings

A companion of the first eagle flies the same route oblivious to my presence

They perch on a dead tree that stands higher than the living green

The stone mans back is breaking

The kids are beating a fish to death with a rock, crushing its skull

You caught your fish kids but what a waste of flesh, just for your entertainment

The northern pike is a beautiful fish, with alligator teeth, and filament bones throughout the flesh.

Poetry from the book {Bunny Hop} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas
