Lions

David Allan Evans' poem "Lions."

By David Allan Evans

When a male mounts a female in
heat she agrees more or less to lie

flat in flattened grass long enough
to feel what he has to offer—

a few good thrusts and then he
throws his head back and yells

at the sky in Serengeti baritone,
while she, as if half for joy and

half with a grudge, snarls and
rolls her eyes up at him, and he

pins her neck down with a species-specific
love bite which must mean

That was the one. He can guess
her answer: to attack and open a

new gash on his nose, or turn over
on her back like an overgrown

kitten, or both. No matter. For this
big huffer, danger is decent.

THE CARNIVAL, THE LIFE

David Allan Evans‘ vision is virtually limitless. Born of the great expanse of South Dakota and touching locales as distant as Mexico, China and the Isle of Man, Evans’ expression of that vision is as subtle as it is encompassing. THE CARNIVAL, THE LIFE (Settlement House Books, 2013) is a meditation on a life well lived.
