Lifes work (Free verse) by richa

The dumb squirrel has again tilted the earth, a clod-footed geranium's ear bends to bedrock, a boneless body once more to be buried up to its neck in soil. The squirrel looks on like a boxer, his tiny claws up, hiding his chin.

that last bit - it's visual to be sure, but think I liked the other version?

The squirrel completely freezes the ability for me to look around and consider the setting for me, and that image is what I'm left with. If that was the intent then kudos, but its quite a departure from the previous version.
