Bat! Poem by Ejalonibu Abraham

Bat!



The rhythmic silence cradles in the sky
Listen to the song, listen to the black blood beat,
Bat!
Blind, but sees by the echoes of the day
Sleeping in the day waiting for the deep dam of darkness to come
Hang upside down like dry leaves on the tree,
When the moonlight set from the east
Its eye flashes like sunlight,
Mouse in the day but grows its wings in the third hour of the day.
Mountainous flight, beast among the flies
That shocked human blood.
Hibernating when the weather is cool,
Use sonar to guide their way
When flying through the sky at night.

Bat!
Glory for the white, error to the black.
Gathered with millions of friends
Their mouth is widely opened as the fly
With terrible terror sound.
The echoes bounce off the rocks
Their beautiful fearful sound causes
A tremor in the dense tropical forest.

Bat!
Souris dan le vol de jour dans la Nuit.
