Roll Call
Red wolf came, and passenger Pigeon,
and Dodo Bird, all the gone or
endangered
came and crowded around in a circle,
the Bison, the Irish Elk waited
silent, the Great White Bear fluid
and strong,
sliding from the sea, streaming and
creeping
into the gathering darkness, nose
down
bowing to earth its tapered head,
where the Black-footed Ferret, paws
folded,
stood in the center surveying the
multitude
and spoke for us all: “Dearly
beloved,” it said.
