Protected Pangolin: Art by Debora Ewing https://www.debnation.com
Careless shift carapace rifts
A sacred space exposed
Plates of armour torn asunder
Exposing the never whole
Curling 'round her pangolin heart
She tends to these intrusions
In seclusion she seeks inclusion
Within a tribe she cannot know
Warrior head high in a toxic sky
Sucking sulphurous bile from her throat
She ascends from the ashes
Writing footprints of grief in the sand
