Zebra Fur

by Timothy Bousfield - Sagittarius

Born through a channel
atop a zebra's fur
stolen from the stripped beast
on a midnights roaming
crying tears and leaking blood 
that blend the stripes.
not knowing the 'fate' of life
or the irony of being born
so silently 
like a whisper told by a young girl 
into anothers ear.
never asking questions
or thinking of possible answers
sitting on the sand 
with a back to the wind
remembering stories
told by parents and grandparents
standing on furs
previously owned by zebras.
the adolescant waits, 
for a time when he can mix
blood and tears
and lie on the zebra's fur 
for the last time.

Reason for writing:

    Hey, Thanks for reading, this poem was made on the spot just then, its nothing special just somthing i want you to have, something i think you need, somthing i dont want anymore. I hope you enjoyed it. It is about nostalgia in a sence, about telling a story of birth and not being able to remember your own birth so you beleive the stories. Which soon become striped like a zebras fur.....
