Leap Sheep

The lazy man
hiding what’s heavy
embarrassment embalm
his bolstered levy

should nothing change
but cheek and beard
a knot becomes
this sheep unsheered

potential muddied
at sunset’s loom
life mis-studied
unwoven groom

sad he’ll sit
un-anchored fear
knowledge seep
an un-damned tear

spilling forth
the single drop
one leap remain
and from the top
