Why, oh why,
When the rains have eased,
Do the darkening clouds
Act like they’re teased?
Fingers grasping,
Maw stretched wide,
Gulping sun rays
Deep down inside.
Shadows spreading
As demons gaze.
Searching houses
And trees to raze.
An ever spinning
Catherine Wheel
Stripping dry skin
Like orange peel.
Leaving smiles
To gather dust.
An e-type Jag
Turns to rust.
A brown rubber plant
Dead in dry dirt.
It’s alright,
Veg don’t feel hurt.
A noisy way out
For a quiet little mouse.
Echoes resounding
In a lonely, cold house.
A doubt for the animals
Trapped in a zoo,
Children and parents
Getting stuck on a two.
Food that chuckles
As we eat.
Mouths that suckle
On dry teat.
Bees on IV’s,
Stings on hooks.
Shadowed eyes,
Furtive looks.
Blu Tac solutions,
Extra sweaters.
A poisoned white bird,
Scary letters.
Cringing figures,
Thin white doors.
