One whisker, white

Sharpie


among ebony
whiskers 
sharp as quills
sprouts
one bright
bristle white
to mark 
to tag 
this squirrel 
'sharpie'
now
special,
he spies 
his bright
black
lustrous
eye
right back
at me



I used to have a favorite humming bird called Sharpie, he's gone to the hummingbird hunting ground, but It's good to pass his name on to another species, one with whiskers and claws that seem to fit. I love his eye as well.

For the Record,
This day came in with bright sun and a cold wind, not much melting going on I'm afraid.

All hands healing
