The Time Of The Sphinx Poem by Oleg Vorobyov

The Time Of The Sphinx

Rating: 5.0


The yellow lion, watchful and intent,

against a sere backdrop of the veldt,

before his strenuous spurt and fatal spring

onto the hinds of the grass-grazing spring-

-bok


The clock

is ticking seconds of the sphinx,

time-stricken at the serendipitous brink...

I wish it would be never "afterwards"!

But what's to be cannot be stopped by words...
