Two Animals – a Poem

Posted on February 5, 2018 by

On a path two

interplanetary

beings meet:

human animal and

animal animal.

 

Is one food

for the other?

Who will move

first, and where?

 

Whose fear is

that in the air?

Reason has instinct

by the throat, or

is it the other

way around?

 

Tethered by memories

of other meetings on

other paths, the two

step cautiously by.

About Nan Mykel

At 79, I was just about to stop keeping a journal, but that felt like accepting that growth was finished. I don't want to be finished, yet! I'm 80 now, and struggling to communicate with you, if you'll come and set awhile. P.S. My how time flies! I'm 82 now.
