Addressing the Root Cause of Illness

Woodlands Healing Centre

Statuary Round the Room

by Clover Kreger


Tapered tail, tapered nose,
sticky, suction, spatulate toes,
keen, black, bulbous eyes,
suit suited as a wall disguise
With a tongue’s lightning flick
one bug dies quick
Electric lights mesmerize
Pattern skins a fine disguise
Eight patrol a tube of light
sucking insects from the night
Tails thrash with hunter’s ardour
insects scream, ‘It’s murder, murder,’
Statuary around the room
moving carvings thus festoon
the dull and drab bare walls
Dark echoes with their calls
And echo, echo, echo, echo,
Of ‘gecko, gecko, gecko, gecko. . .’
