I hadn't really assessed the damage
despite the squelch, suck and plop underfoot
until you said,"It must have rained."
But right enough, there they were
escaping environmental disaster
the flooding of their ecosystem
seeking out new mates and new territories
blindly sensing their trail
propelling themselves bellow like
risking fatal trod and overhead predator
Eco warriors on the move
enriching our lives.
