Look at me very carefully <br />I am fixed with a nail <br /> <br />On a wall, high <br /> <br />and I stand up <br />With out my legs <br /> <br />Crawl like a reptile <br /> <br />With my one hand <br />I catch the tail <br /> <br />With another <br />I grab the head <br /> <br />I put it <br />on my own sack <br /> invisible <br /> <br />to give you <br />a gift <br />to make you <br />immortal <br /> <br />but to my utter <br /> surprise <br />before I give you <br /> <br />it gets its wings <br />and slips out <br /> <br />along with the tide <br />it has gone <br /> <br />to the bottom <br />of the unknown ocean <br /> <br />to bring for us <br />a fruit <br />of wonderful taste<br /><br />Abdul Wahab<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-the-watch-of-the-wall/
