Love Is Or The Drake's Talon Poem by Armadillo Poet

Love Is Or The Drake's Talon



'and what of love? '

Love is
the red of
the devil's talons
when as a
drake, he lurches.

He watches from
his glass-en eye
the theaters below;

and when the
personnages break
and they might see,
the dragon waits:

There he sends his emissaries...

the Temptation of
feline caress,
elastic back of a cat,
Her jaws,
Her claws,
and kiss

But for something of
a good night's sleep,
But for some regret of conquest,
there, it's trapped off course
by teeth

held there 'til the
Crow come-collects
his carrion
and makes again
a show of it

'And all of you birds are deFiled,
be you friends, or Fiends, or foes;
and Violenced are your deViled feet
your maliced wings, your lying songs! '

'sparrows, kings, owls
paupers, hawks, and crows'

Because love,
our song
is

'love,
is for the
birds'

(6-29-2008 to be read with Corneille)

Very dramatic but isn't that what we tend to do with love. Beautiful composition.
