A Sigh : Life

written by Poet : EC


Was that a sigh?
Something like giving up the ghost
or maybe something like a hissing snake
maybe something like a steam engine?

Nah, it was a sigh from deep down the throat
she flexed it like a muscle and it sang of woes
alas, it sang, poor me, worn out and almost dead
listen to my song and pity me

So we did, very compassionate indeed
The outcome of our compassion?
Oh, we were met by an avalanche of sighs
thundering down like on a slope

Alas, alas rang high and low
Alas, we said, alas that you're so alas-ed
so very much into steam-hissing alas-er
that made you miss the boat and mate with Mr. Snake
