Pilgrimage
[by S. David] [art by Dina Brodsky]

An ostrich
Walks down
A forested
A green path
It doesn’t
Belong there
But it is
Whose fantasy
Whose symbolism
Where can it
Stop plant itself
So that it won’t
See what it can’t
Accept and
How often
Do you feel
Out of place
A pretty world
Almost lush
And you know
You don’t
Belong
But
There you are
Anyway
On a pilgrimage
To find
Your place
