Sitting Duck

Plumed feathers rustle

In gentle appreciation

Of each others company;

They love freely without hesitation.

 

Not a wandering thought

While by each others side,

For hearts held synchronized harmonies;

Their love devout without thoughts of why.

 

Until the day came

When a revving beast

Tore limb from limb

Of the deceased.

 

Nothing is as sad a sight to see

As a sitting goose.

Alone, on the side of the road

Scarred by thoughts of her husband’s noose.

 

For in her mind the spot where he had left

Still bled the devils immorality.

So here she sat through wax and wane

Unwilling to budge the stubborn heart of loyalty.

 

For nothing is as sad a sight to see

As a sitting goose.

Alone on the side of the road

Scarred by thoughts of her husband’s noose.
