crab without claws


outside, she is slim and pretty
as a black labrador
with shorts and shaved legs
attracting onlooker’s stroking

at least, in the secret cave
of his mind and soul
craving for that illicit sleeping
when his wife is out of town

but constantly she runs
into her hiding as a crab
running into the crab-hole
unaware of her missing claws

taking cover under a law
that is tilted towards lies woven
and spiced with that sacred
sympathy for the she species
