Three Tigers
(a 55)
Three tigers by the sea
waiting for my company,
frightened by the gunner's moon;
three tigers hungry soon.
Three tigers in the millet;
artist, lover and a poet
find their game, make it run,
eat the work when they have done.
Two wet tigers in the storm;
I laugh and keep the good one warm.
