| Lonely hunter In the vast Savannah, brown and whistling It resuscitated self and stretched the long folded arms In the middle of a land full of treachery And thought it might not be buried again Without accomplishing the virtue Full of erect manifold it moves fecund and bouncy With little eccentrics or indifference And races towards the human pretence With agility With agility The lonely hunter has no future No catch to hunt all gone with the harsh wind But…one catch sets self in The hunter snares it Feeling important and chest-thumping He fends the limping catch well, watches its move And offered a helping hand The emotional thirst ran deep in him But he kept his knife in the scabbard Waiting for the right time The catch, now able to jump and move about Just sleeps as the hunter sweats over It moves hereabout and does not care about As the hunter continues Then one day, just one day Things went outside the fence And the hunter settled the wind Raised above the normalcy With little ineptitude The catch ran away And the hunter has gone bitter Wished he had eaten her earlier Than wait « return. |
