The Woodpecker

on dining detail

no one works harder

swoops in

taps out termites

grabs a grub

a fly-by piercing

leaves behind

a newly-riddled wall

  1. I love, love this! My favorite thing when we lived in the woods was to watch these characters dig for dinner. Dead, rotting trees took on a whole new meaning for me.
