poe5: giraffe

slender, tall, graceful,
she rises from the water,
her pink bikini drawing our eyes,
the centrepiece of this poolside portrait.

seeming to humorously chew gum, she patrols
the top-gallants of acacia and thorntree,
surveying us all down here
with her lazy eye.

the lioness and cubs negotiate some territory,
and even old simba has respect,
for this otherworldly queen.

slowly joined by her friend,
they dance around our imaginations,
heavenly figments from above,
hypnotic, picturesque, magnetically alluring.
