kidney pie

i find a fork
lying
in the ice, half buried
in snow,
the prongs sticking upwards.
silvery clean in
the sunlight.
the literal
fork in the road.
should i take it, or leave
it where it lies.
perhaps the owner
will need it
at some point when
sitting down to dinner,
ready to carve and
eat his kidney pie.
