The Still Squirrel

My wife saw him slouched

on the railing of the deck

railing with the deck

unshuffled

but dealt

won too many for his own good

and he was ever so still

and he did not move

and he looked ever so forlorn

and he did not move

and he looked ever so unfinished

and still

he did not move

and in his stillness he was ever so moving

and touching

and untouchable

but still he did not move
