1199

pearly lamb
your coat sheared
bare and tan and without

when the first foot fell
the people thought
something new
the little hair below the navel
peaking and curling

local lover / local plumber

when the first foot fell
the bankers thought
someone would be arrested
the lines spreading and vanishing
around the corners of the mouth

local guide / new blood

and the shepherd said
won’t you let me change
but the storms keep
the stones the same

pearly crest
pearly coat

smiling so bright
