A Poem of Contrary Natures ____ AKSHR


A Poem of Contrary Natures

 

Like the bright hair uplifted from the head

 

Like the sharpened teeth of a wild thing

 

Like the lioness and her cubs in the great grassland

 

The shield of your shoulders is hard as an eggshell,

 

A froth of blood feathers your lips.

 

I am not a poet. I have never been a poet. 

I will never be a poet.

 

And yet

 

Like the bright hair uplifted from the head

 

That needs a proper ending.
