Always Ready To Confiscate
Searching her territory for
Sticks and cactus,
Stones and rocks,
Always ready to confiscate
Sometimes appropriating
The burrow of
A ground squirrel
At the base of a cactus
Using cactus pads
And cactus spines
Constructing a fortress
From her predators
Survival is her game
Sometimes abandoning
Plant materials for
Your belongings
Fond of small
Bright shiny objects
When available
Always ready to confiscate
