Look close enough
and you’ll see the cliff
is alive
Millipedes are the most common
creeping
crawling
and oozing purple liquid
Between rocks
spiders craft funnel-shaped webs
triggered by the tickling of tasty airborne prey
In the sun-soaked spots, snakes slither
Earth-bound tree frogs frolic feverishly
High in the canopy
caterpillars gorge themselves
the scraps of their feast flutter like ill-crafted paper airplanes
Looking skyward
ever-present falcons hunt upon rising air
