Lion In My Heart by Michael Lee Johnson
Lion in my Heart (V2) By Michael Lee Johnson There is a heart embedded inside this male lion, I swear. I eat leaves and underbrush, foliage of the forest, I belch. Then I fall in love with birds, strangers and wild women. Tears fall into the lush forest green below, like Chinese crystal glass beads, shatter. Then I realize it’s not the jungle, but I that am alone. In the morning when the bed squeaks, both alarm clocks erupt, I realize I’m alone in my jungle. I hear the calls of the wild- the streetcars, and the metro trains, wake me in my sleep in my jungle alone, let me belch in my belly with my Tums, let me dream in my aloneness I swell. There is a heart embedded inside this male lion, I swear jungle man, lion lover, and city dweller.
