Calling in the Night

A pitiless someone

set the black swan

in search of his mate.

Round and round

he paddles, no chance

of finding her. I hear him

crying out her name.

Despicable someones

snatched her to feed

their hungry kids, feed

the landlord, the bank

in their lives; odious

someones bagged her

and ran off.  Round

and round he paddles,

crying out her name.

A cold hearted person

offended by the state

of the world, 
a troubled black swan 

person paddling around,

calling in the night.
