Waiting

WAITING

From  here  my roost is not  far
Only   fogged.  Yet  paved  with tar.
I   am  that  teetered  beast 
Loose me , Awaiting me is a feast. 
I hear that drum of my hide rumble,
And  the flute of  my  bones  waft
Tunes not humble,
That  tune of my beginning
soporific yet ecstatic in singing
Sheer paroxysm!!!!
I am that carnivore,
This  forage  starves me…
Unbind  me, see home  awaits my return.
I’m  through with my first death.    
My second birth is close..
