Summary: I grew up in a desert and became quite fascinated by the humble camel.




Snarl for me
Oh wonderful, warm furred beast
Bare your horsy teeth
and drool.
You are not camouflaged
amid the arid land;
You’re confident
arrogant:
kick out your many knees!
You know who’s boss.
Red, orange, brown tasselled glory
Matted but patted
Tipped and whipped;
ready to race
or a more leisurely pace.
Snarl for me
Oh wonderful, warm furred beast
Make the hot sand fly!
