lion heart

tear down and pluck out

the foxy-heart

that craves for left-over

and greedily desires

making him bigger

and grandeur

merely by an easy dip

in blue

instead infuse within

and graft on me

a lion-heart

that puts away the lion’s skin

and all pretensions

starving in silence

when necessary

but never licking

someone else’s …

living styles

living is, from others, much stealing

continuously, freely, gulping

as a mosquito sucking the blood

from a self that has labored so hard

greater living is also stealing

constantly, on beautiful, buzzing

as the bee sucking the sweet honey

while, also carrying the pollen to serve

greatest living is letting to steal

continually giving all to all

like the mother earth holding not back

for self, or looking for some return
