Outdoor Miner

No blind spots in leopards' eyes
Can only help to jeopardise
The lives of lambs, the shepherd cries.

An outdoor life
For a silver fish.
Eternal dust, less ticklish
Than a clean room, a houseguest's wish.

He lies on his side, is he trying to hide?
In fact it's the Earth which he's known since birth.
He lies on his side, is he trying to hide?
In fact it's the Earth which he's known since birth.

Face worker, serpentine miner
A roof falls, an underliner
Of leaf structure, the egg timer.
