Camouflage

I sleep with one eye open  
head rotated the movement on the frozen tundra  
friend or foe a rodent to eswage the hunger
silence to the grey and drab  
eyes so keen like lasers  pierce and stab  
 
The wolves they chant as the days comence
they feel the religon of its grace
the pack its order its worlds so fierce
wild the nurcher of its family face
bare the teeth growl so statuesque
 
Cubs that romp and hone there skills
breed the smell of blood and kill
the backyard of the forest floor
yelp and feint to grace the hunt  
when it is formed
 
Graze the reindeer so discreet
ghosts of movements that dance slow beat
the frozen startle crisp and neat
the ballet as like one they turn and flee
the preditor is so hungry that pangs persist
 
The rut the challenge to the stag
the antlers clash and flesh is gouged
the pretenders season has emerged
they writhe and snort the bout is soon cut short
the victors bellow a first prize at any sport  
 
The bear it prowls and lumber slow
its power to kill with just one blow
game and fish it meal the chosen course
but to bear the sting of the bee to gorge
like humans a honeyed sweet desert is sought
 
Dormant lies the animal in us  
"lord of the flies" that truth disguised
how far removed the cannibal that you despise
the beginning or the ultimate decent from paradise
 survival mode would you go down that Darwin road
