Where They Belong

by: Ryandito D.

one warm early morning
rays of sunlight made it through
the windows of a 1967 Ford Ranger
along with the rumbling sound of the engine
waking you up

you sleep better when it’s dark
all comfortable and sound
and lucky you the animals weren’t on their onomatopes
like you were, they are, sleeping sound

you ask
“what are we gonna do with them?”
“to the forest it is, where we’re going”
answered the man with the khaki hat
and a rifle with darts as shells
