Poetry, Essays and Art By J.H. Dickinson from All-Creatures.org
Do you dare to look
Connecting
As dark eyes meet
You, who drive in line
Car lights ahead
Rain soaked
Human drudgery
Roar of export truck
And you dared to look
Did anyone else see wide eyes, wool, packed in bodies
Would the sounds of bleats and
Discomfort ring out
If you all switched off your engines
And dared to look
To really – see
To comprehend
What lives
And what dies
Deliberate ignorance
Transformed into
Species symbiosis...
If we only dared to look
