Crocodile Poem by Charl JF Cilliers
Crocodile
In the miasma
of the choked
river he drifts,
hiding his lizard hands.
A dead tree
trunk nudged by birds.
A leaf blinks.
Only in nightmares
can a stump
come so brutally to life.
Water thrashes
like tormented sleep.
Then slowly
the sinking down to where, amongst stones,
corpses are interred
in coffins of decaying leaves.
