The Egret Poem by Tony Adah

The Egret



The egret perched on the hump
Of the cow
And the cow prowled the veld relishing the grasses
Insects and flies perturbed
Jumped into the egret's mouth
A vigilant hawk aligted
And in his talons the egret
Was jacked away
And the day became a Christmas day
For the insects and the flies
This is how the world grinds daily
On its jaws.
