With their atomic

With their...

Holding me before my birth to a carnal earth
Longing...

I’ve seen black sheep set in Pongola grass

Within pallid seas, differed, 

Like black buttons on a white cotton suit;

Sheep are color blind.

A bee is fine-looking,

But there’s fire in its ass.

Can the wild goat trust

The adder...

...For years they both lived there
in the crisp mountain air,
the rolling ridges were their home,
