little red kit – part one

left on her own with milk still on her lips,
little red kit closes the barn door
on the den where mongoose and viper
are at it again spitting and hissing.

little red kit is really quite clever
and confident the world is all jam
packed full of berries and cream
that will tickle her nose and stick to her whiskers.

so all kitted out with a pail to fill now
and jelly jar for winter, she skips on down
her yellow brick road to the blackberry patch,
licking her lips and burning her bridges.

off in the distance the rumble of thunder
and the scent of the hunter, but her path
is one way, there’s no exit ramp, no turning back,
trailing nettles have stingers, new thorns await.
