Poem

Flutters a crocodile gecko his thick-edged tail,
And licks his sticky lips with his twisted tongue; 
His eyes ablaze with fire, and in his abdomen, 
Rotten corpses stand erect like haunting tombs.

And now - withering thuds of heavy strides
Drown the boulder, the child’s hideout, 
And a wretch with a deep cut on his right jaw 
Towers, beclouding him like a deformed ghost. 

A tender home gecko breaks his own tiny tail 
As a trick to escape from Crocodile’s grip,
Yet Crocodile lands on the tailor-less soul, 
Seizes him by his neck, and they wrestle and fall.

Wresting - rustling stops, and sky stands higher;
Nature’s slow somber music laments in a choir.
