‘It just takes one!’
The dormouse cries
Others pulled to its cause
And though one among them lies
They trust his steady paws
‘It just takes one!’
The tomcat mocks,
Claws glinting in the sand,
‘While you talk and talk the clocks
Stop ticking for no man.’
‘It just takes one!’
The eagle screams,
Eyes laughing from above.
And perhaps it even deems
This somehow to be love
Shadows pass and
Come again new,
As if part of a plan
Somehow each time no one knew
No one, to a man
‘It just takes one!’
The mother weeps,
Dead march before her eyes,
‘Follow where the dormouse leads
And no one leaves alive!’
