Poem
WHO AM I? A match ignites a light into my life My long sleep is troubled. Where is my breakfast? I am hungry! As I stretch my limbs, I notice that a spread is set out for me. I am ravenous. I timidly start to taste whatever is close to me. It is an exhilarating sensation, My hunger grows as I savour food. I am losing my manners and like a wild beast I devour what I can reach. I don’t like the way I am and I desperately try to control myself. I am in my element with the awareness of heat and wind in my hair. Oh! Please God please make me stop! The Devil has taken my being and I have lost control. I am falling. I am so dizzy spiralling down and down and down this endless shaft. I want to stop but I cannot. I need nourishment. Now that I have had a taste of the uncontrolled sweetness of intercourse with nature I want more. My senses are at their peak. Like a crazed lunatic I need more and more. I want to ravage and take as spoils all the virgin maidens. I want their young bodies to satiate my need to keep my fire burning. Like a thunder clap I suddenly realise that mankind is my enemy. This is very strange because while I was asleep I had so many amorous and soothing dreams of our mutual feelings. Man and I have respected each other for centuries. NOW HE WANTS TO STOP ME ENJOYING MY VORACIOUS APPETITE! We are at war! But I am so huge that I sneer at his efforts to starve me. I have my friend the weather on my side She gives me all her support with dry heatwaves and wind. I will go on forever and ever eating the delicious Pines, Eucalypti and all the nice vegetation that man has nurtured. I savour the taste of his homes and the beasts he ingests, What I relish most of all is when I carnivorously eat his flesh. I am the fire that rules over this sunburnt country And I am here to stay. Man will have to wait until I have had my fill. Then and only then I will go to sleep again!
