Herbert Nehrlich - Waiting Be Damned

I saw as well, a flying fox
he rode the rainbow, trailing musk
and did you know a fox wears sox
to keep the chill well off at dusk.
Photovoltaic molecules
are carried high by glowing worms

and only Lucifer's own fools
meet infrared on shaky terms.
A new year dawns, let fly my wishes
and like a tree that grew within
say welcome to the million fishes
and bear the waiting with a grin.

Herbert Nehrlich
