Omega
Omega
Last allowed to eat
of the carrion
from the carcass
of the caribou
always off to the side
tail between legs
waiting for the attack
from the angry Alpha
so with a sadness
of the soul
he howls at the full moon
until daylight
then one snowy, cold day
he wanders off
from the pack
never to be seen again.knight4696 commented on Omega

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
