The edge of the pond
is deeper than it looks mean,
Forest grumbles and wolves mumbles
How long a prey have you been?
Drowned, numb, filled with weeds
A dog, a fox and a hunter shoots,
Mosquito bites, dreams of poppy seeds
Plaster of mud under your boots.
Leaves fall under full moon night
and the pack of wolf howls,
Blind in day and dream at midnight
Are you those oath-taking owls?
The edge of the pond
is deeper than it looks mean,
Forest grumbles and wolves mumbles
How long a prey have you been?
