the sulu mouse


The Sulu mouse
It came into the house
It wanted to claim its territory
Searching for food

It came with confidence
The silence of the dead
Breathing slowly of light breezes
Through the open windows or sliding doors

Into the land of food
There was none so it found
Trapped into its foolishness
The Sulu mouse couldn't escape

The air plane dived in
The big pole came hard on it
One bomb exploded on its head
It laid dead but breathing heavily

The big pole came hard
On its neck stopping its breathing
It struggled to free itself
The weight took its toll

The Sulu mouse died
In the afternoon of hot summer
For greed would not pay
A life lost entering an alien domain
