Hyena haiku

aardwolf leering
on african steppes:
embraceable spots
incised jester
fleshly distortion
ungainly copulates
jaws of iron
gazelle corpse
capn' crunch
masai maidens
dreams on savannah
your hackles heave
hyena

good one, zoso
it howls like the Serengeti
savage scavengers never relaxed
hyena, lice encrusted but proud enough to laugh.

Thanks, man. I don't adhere to that New Yawk art-school motto that animal metaphors and imagery are over with or through.
Orwell's Animal Farm still rocks. As does Aesop's Fables really.

i'd like it if: aardwolf leers as opposed to leering.
but these are nice.
is there any room for the word ungulate?
ah that's something else entirely.

through mosquito net
night howls approach
eliot cowers
tai chi under stars
move like serpent
cry like hyena
(animals aren't cool? god, what's next? plants?)
