Analysis of Maasai Mara paradise



Sun comes up
Resolutely.
Single acacia tree
Divides the glorious
Red line of awakening.
Hyenas heard first.
Gorging themselves
On wasted wildebeest.
Lions’ night time kill.
And how thise women can
Track down and bewilder
Unto the death climax.
Vultures roosted
On that acacia.
Will be phase three
In the grizzly banquet.
Bugs and time will be the fourth.
Such is the Way
The Processional..
Beautiful.
Needful.
Mercy-less.
Maasai.
