Under the Acacia

 





Roar like a train 

Exerting last power 

Sun going down 

The King has this hour. 

Day's chase behind 

The women did well 

Zebra and springbok 

Some bellies to fill. 

Cubs long supine 

As birds sing to sleep. 

Resting these lions 

And no lesser, creeps. 

Wild dogs know well. 

The scraps wait til morn. 

Hyenas now grunting 

The kill slashed and torn. 

Vultures in shadow 

Their heads nestle low 

Acacias near timeless
