Bully

By Alchemist


 

Beetles in the grave
A lonely bear in his cave


Hibernation or subjugation


When in the shadow of clouds
You must tame the trade winds


Migration or immigration


Winter's teeth
And summer love


Instinct or intrusion


The juice of an opiate fern
As the seasons turn


Run or burn
