yellow armadillo
your skin,
green and mellow
how yellow
you become
in low snow
or shallow water
With yellow armor
for glamour,
your neighbor the harbor,
you anchor forever
in dolor or rapture.
yellow armadillo,
why wallow
in the bellows
of the callow?
why whisper
not holler,
wether winter
or summer?
Yellow armadillo,
why wander?
why linger?
Be watcher of widows
or stand by the gallows?
Why follow tomorrow
in sorrow with arrows,
Yellow armadillo,
shed armor for valour,
grow wings of a sparrow,
soar and be flyer,
no more be a watcher,
and sing til forever.
