I live
With the body of a lioness
But walk
At the pace of a snail
The earth; a cruel boiling
The air; a slapping heat
On this road, are monstrous feet
And on the sky’s face, is an annoying grin
Even the dark seems dangerous
As legs with no intent join targeting ones in my hunt
When did you say is your time for me?
II
I hope your time is not in oblivion
Where moths lay claim on what needs recycling
I hope your time is not in full age
Where old age sprinkles wrinkles on my fallen skin
As joints pull down its locomotive powers with pain
I hope your fires under this very pot
Die not at the total evaporation of its working waters
Your intent have written endorsements
But you know how fast hearts you created move
When need chases
