Animal Poem (Briseno)


Animals Upstairs

Advancing Horns of the Ram
Treading Holy Bull and Seven Sisters

Greek Twin Sailors Augmenting the Crew
Carapace Shielding the Shellfish

Loftily Describing the Lion’s Mane
Visage of the Enduring Maiden

Luminous Scales Splitting Claws
Stinging Barb with Eight Legs

Soldier Standing Watch Half-man Half-beast
Combining Ibex Upper and Caudal Fin Tail

Ampule of Water a Bearer of Luck
Pair of Fish Shoaling  

No one understands the Animal Kingdom
