Orf

Because his nose and face were one festering sore

That no treatment persuaded, month after month,

And his feet four sores, the same,

Which could only stand and no more,

Because his sickness was converting his growth

Simply to strengthening sickness

While his breath wheezed through a mask of flies

No stuff could rid him of

I shot the lamb.

I shot him while he was looking the other way.

I shot him between the ears.

He lay down.

His machinery adjusted itself

And his blood escaped, without loyalty.
