Oh my goodness! You weren't kidding when you said you had a bad case of racoons. So they are ignoring you now while you snap pictures? That's a bad sign... Next thing you know you'll wake up by the creek and they'll have moved into your house!
I'm standing above them, in the dark. If I come out with the porch light on, and the *see* me, they run like krezzy. Still, I think you're right: that could be where it's headed. . . .
A young one broke in a few years ago while I was in NYC, did a lot of damage before he found he way back out. But nothing much of interest; maybe he told the others?
Water gathering
most days I wait
through blue and sun
till dusk
or even later
and the rose has faded
to lavender, to gray
some days, the sleet
has started
and the leaves underfoot
are slick with ice
somehow I'm never sorry
and never learn
one night I waited
till the stars were out
dropped the bucket into
sound, only felt the weight
of it filling
and the night full of stars
and the river full of stars
and the bucket full of stars
come morning, the coffee
is also full of stars
