Wild Cuts
Natural Philosophy
The dim shadow
of the thing
was but a blur
against the dim shadows
of the woods behind it.
A Bird Too Many
Notwithstanding
his suffering
he found himself smiling
as he contemplated the remnant
of his long-suffering
ducks.
Sure of a Big Surprise
She dared not again
tempt fate
in the gloomy wood
by night.
A Drip Too Many
About it the liquids of
decomposition had killed
vegetation, leaving the thing
alone in all its grisly
repulsiveness as though shocked
nature had withdrawn in terror.
Soothe and Improve
He knew little more of savage dances
than his tribesmen did
of the two-step and the waltz;
but he knew that dancing
and song and play
marked in themselves
a great step upward.
A Whiz Too Many
A haze obscured his vision –
everything became black – his brain
was whizzing about at frightful velocity
within the awful darkness of his skull.
Last Days
man moved less rapidly
and as he went
he looked now for a burrow
into which he might crawl
A Movement Too Many
Presently the snow came out,
as I have told you,
and the cliff went away
toward the edge of the world.
But they are all dead now.
(Found poems from Edgar Rice Burroughs, The Cave Girl, 1913)
