Innocence

by Minerva Cook

Soft

new

innocent

A ruffed grouse chick

wanders onto the road

mesmerized by light and space

its tiny feet running.

It disregards

maternal clucks

when nest mates

scurry under cover.

Carefully I reach

and cradle the tiny

being of fluffy down

place it close to family

pray for its survival

into parenthood.

I walk away

richly blessed

with the touch

soft

new

innocence.
