I

Still Guard

Duck, he stands alert
Green-headed, ever watching
Over the others
A single statue
Unmoving as they frolic
Score the marsh, forage
Duck, he is weary
As the two-footed creatures
Watch him from afar
Many still statues
The green-headed one grooms self
Then turns back to rock
Duck, he sees Shiba
Into the water they flee
Danger avoided
