You pull with all your might
I watch as you strain
your little body so intense
you are determined
you heave, you tug
you jerk, you stretch
stubbornly it sticks.
You release slightly
then twist as you heave.
It relaxes
you stumble backwards.
it’s free, you want to celebrate
you run around the mole hill
others chasing for a share
you stop, stare at them
one swift gulp
it’s gone
now sparrow you are full
of worm.
