BESTIARY by Boria Sax

BESTIARY

The elephant,
An asteroid
That struck earth
And walked.

The moth,
An autumn leaf
Still flying
Without a breeze.

Dolphins,
Waves
That did not vanish
Into the sea.

Jellyfish,
Dreams
Of drowned
Mariners.

The lion,
A field of sun
Curled up
For the night.

Each minnow,
A pebble
The ocean caressed
And coaxed to life.

Boria Sax, 2009,

originally from The Raven’s Wing
