MENAGERIE OF AGE:


The beasts of age raise their ugly heads,

Awakening now, from their youthful beds,

Loosened from dens, lairs & choking chains,

Prowling slack mawed, within growling pains.

 

Black bats circling round sunken eyed pools,

Drooling wolves of fear are nobody´s fools,

Ants of muscled cramps, in white maggot skin,

Felines scratching posts of legs, now so thin.

 

Beasts plod through veins, drought dry stricken,

Canine´s fangs bared, where old arteries thicken,

And the raven caws, from white thatched roof,

As the vulture awaits; Do you need more proof?
