Sleepy Critter

from L'Isola dei Lupi by Bob Drake

/

lyrics

Frayed and worn
dragging along stony paths
seeking
repose
so sleepy tongue and tail a’dragging

with the hottest hours yet approaching

fur’s already so hot
it smells like burning sugar.

Tried to blink his eyes
winds and streams abated
time tilted
nothing stirred.

Unfortunately that includes our little friend’s waning respiration.

Draped across the stones on the quincunx

in the blazing sun
framed by cypress
one might have thought
some some discarded pelt.

“...finally found a place to sleep...it seems so easy now….”
