you slipt from night
a hempen bag
the morning ran
sacked with the first messy light
it was time you said
time to up and vamoose
your warm body
on the loose you ran
knowing the sun
would strike
its light would sting
your eyes thinking
when you would at the last
moment zip
nimbly to the side
you would
seize it
by the neck feel
its thrashing
in your mouth
its life shaking
up and down
your body
