The Distant Traveller Poem by Green Peace

The Distant Traveller



Sometimes appears at the grass-
Or at the window pane of the house
Yellow-- Golden yellow just as brass
Whose friend is it kills the mouse?

All courage mustered up to befriend it
Paralyses at its appearance
Education at stake captures the senses
The aroma of fear, anxiety, perplexity it sprouts
Skinny, shiny a lout

In the woods or at the road-
Is always a police, a doctor, an examiner-
Slides, curls, dominates the emperor
The light load.
