How Fast Can You Run






The mighty tiger asks, “How fast can you run?”

 

And all the forest is stricken still.

 

The winds shriek all night before the sun

Uncovers those that felt the kill.

 

A young boy leaps out grasping at the pall-

Only the warrior’s capes can save his fall

Unto the screaming silence that is his private hell.

 

And from the night a voice asks, “Can you tell

This place from where all are one shell?”

 

The meek lamb asks, “Does it make sense

To look for me - in the present tense?”

 

The tiger snarls, “How fast can you run?”
