Elephant Man's Lament

The flying squirrel of Icarus
Took to the sky, to find a kiss
The blue skies would better understand
Of what he was denied on land

            The shark, who was both White and Great
            Took to the beach, to find a mate
            The ocean depths had left him dry
            This ocean only hid his cries

                        The mighty hawk, who soared towards light
                        Clipped his wings and walked upright
                        He’d given up on finding one
                        Who’d  join his journey towards the sun

The mortal man, who had so much
He longed to share a lovers touch
And when this love could not be found

He rested, waiting . .  . . . . underground
