tusky, pink, wrinkled
little elephant
bright merry eyes
floppy ears, swishy tail
moving along on cat's feet
ambling, stumbling, fumbling
for the sun and dust baths
magnificent, regal
playful oh so naughty
looking for a place
to rest your wandering soul
tested my cold empty heart
and sat
and sat
and sat
and warmed it
liked it too much
grown bigger--
no more place, no space
to take even a mouse.
won't go away.
cruel little elephant
is it my fault
you stayed?
