The Giraffe-LionA Poem by VERONICAHer neck grows as tall as a lamppost. Around her head is a crown of matted hair. Her body is that of a large cat’s Decorated with short yellow hairs Th at outline various hex-through-octagons. She, the giraffe-lion, roars, “Good evening,” As she slips her purple tongue out To catch the full moon flakes. I hug her long awkward neck, as she nuzzles the nape of mine. The beast breathes the smell of carnage, And the exhalations seep through my pores. I feel lighter. Her honey crystals meet my grey ones As the tips of our noses touch. The point in between shines in the moon flakes. As the giraffe-lion roars and damages my eardrums, The groundwork for friendship beats in my ears. Her honey crystals dampen. © 2010 VERONICA |
