The Delusion of the Lion

Published 24 September 2024
Empty am I,
In building of solid walls, painful concrete.
AGONISE,
SLEEP,
WAIT
Know you not that my heart is a sunkissed land,
Watch me laze on soft grass,
Watch me guzzle fresh water
Watch me roar on the towering rock stacks.
Snooze now. See the dust dance. The wind howl.
sleeping am I.
