One of my first poems. Hope you enjoy! |
She walks across the floor in her bumble bee tunic The black cobra whispers in her ear of devilish deeds And plants seeds of quiet and silent reading by the brilliant nuclear glow She babbles, confused and shouts which way do I go? The man in the truck sees her confusion and says get in the truck Scared, she gets in, sinking the bed And as they drive, he says I can tell you your entire life story Every little detail that you’ve already heard From the moment you were born to the moment you’ll be dead How long have I been here? She asks with a glint of fear Dear, you’ve been here since the mountains were young And the hills were born in the bleeding steaming birth That sprang forth from the intensely angry earth And what will happen when I die She demands pounding on the glass Why you’ll killed in a fiery accident Is his reply And When will this take place? She asks with a streak of anger Right after the next time you look upon my face And who are you Why should I believe what you say Because I picked you up today I have gone by many names Some in different tongues, but meaning all the same He looks at her With soulless, empty eyes But you, my dear, may call me the reaper With that, he lets go of the wheel |
