THE PRIDE

Menagerie — my love

so wild and feral

an exhibition for all

 

my society — nature

not one born of fear

the beast is true dear

 

My teeth nibble your ear

and paws, one on your back

the other beneath jaw

 

Your pelt — African Sahara

I smell and dream of kings

 

your pride my joy dear

my joy a wet tongue

upon your majestic face

 

The orange God falls

across the edge of land

we watch together

 

growl, lick, kiss

nibble, scratch

blissful existence

SO BECAME

so became my friend who offered my life
beneath the shade of elephant eye
the brownest emotion of nature’s side

sahara knew me very well — she feels
baking the skin of back from olive

to black        i love her fields

two nights before the feather fell

the light accord

my fair-weather dear

tonight i run to fetch my meal

quickly-swiftly upon death’s heel
