Night's Eye Poem by Elna Nel

Night's Eye



on cushioned paws
what have you done
in the night
after miles of hunting
piles of lives
backsliding
into darkness
colourless
with no sense of time
or feel
a tetra-minded being
moving stealthily
clouding minds
in the shelter
of the night
are you in a man
spewing curses
where there
is no light
paralyzing bodies
in helpless nothingness
waiting for society
to call yoy back
from this self-destroying
track
into pious sobriety
and will you come back
without colour's lack
created for a purpose
in all-seeing
divinity's eye
or did you make
your choices
outside of man
created
but not seen
even as a poet
or a panther
