Animals


A consortium of crabs

comisserates on the fate

of a murder of crows.

A parliment of owls is called to order!

Unswayed by the charm of finches,

whittling away at the day,

oblivious to the

skulking of foxes

waiting to take me away,

from the siege of herons

selling illicit backwater deals,

selling dreams and cheap deals,

telling me its all the same.

Basking of alligators

on the shore,

jaws yawn wide

wanting more! more! more!

Troubling the hummingbirds

nearby driving a stick-shift

down mercy's way,

lazy today,

to the obvious exaltation of larks

singing high above the labour of moles,

who work away underground.

Cackle and caw!

A pandemonium of parrots,

pleading for release,

from gilded cages

in the sun.

No one mentions the ubiquity

of sparrows

free to flit and flout,

nor the freedom of a slew of sharks,

domineering in the deep,

their kingdoms do not meet.

We wander away

down the hill

past the dazzle of zebras,

hoping to find,

at long last

a peace of humankind.
