the first few lines of the poem
but the yard is like a mob
shouting or a child wailing
or the moment the lion
sinks a claw in the delicate
ankle of her prey
it turns me away
I shake all day
while the lions feed
on sunlight and blood
and the last few lines of the poem
barely a moment too soon
in terror run off with the herd
escaping
