by my mind like whiffs of smoke
from a campfire... strangers sleep
on the ground next to the fire to
keep warm and relaxed as they
rest their senses... food on a stick,
stuck in the ground, remains close
guarded by the dogs who have
already eaten too much... crickets
send out alarms, frogs let loose a
stuttering trill as it echoes forth...
purrrreeeek... purrrreeeek...
sounds of the night drift silently
passed my eyes that see more than
they are supposed to see... and,
the fantasies that were once dreams
are now realities as they slither on
the ground like eden snakes not
if they should speak or not... and,
off in the distance, the lions purr
with the hot air that surrounds
their pride, watching field mice
chase the crickets who have hidden
among the tall grasses... a yellow
moon smiles at the darkness of the
people it highlights wondering if
they realize they are being watched.
