Ah the Lazy Monarch
ah to be as lazy as a caterpillar
gleaming her eyes peeking through
my silk threads watching
the double breasted pigeon
peck peck pecking earnestly breaking
her beak upon the irish stone
covered in crawling ivy how she envies
my laziness my weaving new threads
of poetry and song why during my laziness
during my stillness eagerly she awaits daily prying
her feet covered in feces closer to my cocoon
while dropping her fetish upon pedestrians
she envies the hawk soaring high above
her nest of germs contaminating
thee bottom feeders used to lure more mesh
ah to be lazy like the caterpillar she announced
how does she eat what does she drink
while stuffing her chest with fallen feathers
where the crows perch angrily
her beak slams into the irish stone again and again
how grand a place being wrapped in silk
protected from rain wind sleet
the double breasted pigeons beak
nestled between a quaint haven of plush
distant from the cities rush
until springtime arrives again i'll emerge
waving a colorful banner dazzling in hints of beauty
landing upon the soft aroma a scented nectar
daintily released from the top of tall pines
ah to be lazy as the butterfly covered
in soft brown garments of silk threads
bright patterns quilts of sunlight
while double breasted pigeons feast
near irish stone where more is least
