Savannah

Savannah, savannah,
Stretching wide,
Savannah, savannah,
Touching sky.

Savannah, savannah,
Toffee grass,
Savannah, savannah,
Wetland marsh.

Four giraffe. Tall ships on the skyline,
Spindly powerful legs, serenity
Of movement, intelligence
Behind those whiteless eyes.

Savannah, savannah,
Moves like the sea,
Savannah, savannah,
Furred with seeds.

Savannah, savannah,
Overtones of bronze,
Savannah, savannah:
Underhints of green.
