our neighbours


Like a tortoise in race a hare
Not in haste to pass the line
Leaving his pearls unsearched
But slowly with it

Like a duck in the falling rain
Steadily through the piercing torrents
My impenetrable feathers will hide
And not get weary or tired of the fall

Like the ostrich I will not be
To hide my head in the earth
When my whole body faces it all
The shameful and hurting winds

Like the crab my whole body my home
My protection from the up sky
The unfriendly winds but not man
His sharpened iron and fire

Like the eagle to fly up high
Up the cloudy sky and forget not
The fall, my precious golden eggs
That I’ll leave out there
