Malingerer
Malingerer
Harbinger
of
Abandonment;
Like
Aristotle
shot at
dawn, yet -
(What’s
round and dull
But Sharp
all over?)
The
answer is:
a hyrax!
You!
Never
expected that!
To see,
to love
To hear,
to die
Bubble bubble
Double double
Instigator!
Mewling
Traitor!
Oleander:
The pink,
the white
Pretty!
Quickly
Poisoned.
Chastened?
No, No!
Breathing
Heaving
Searching
Fleeing.
A Rat
A Rat
You
run
the maze
An hour
or days
Unexpected.
Shock!
No,
no
reprieve
Til the
hyrax screams
Are you there,
please
Aristotle?
The
rustling leaves.
The time
for dreams
I can’t
get out.
