Death of a Peacock



Flipping slick pages of a news magazine
Full page photo Duchess Kate future queen
Long white veil over her white smile
White bouquet in hand lacy sheen
Next page over the eyes of Arabia
Staring from behind a black veil
A woman with black flowers
In her other hand  a photo from jail
Her bearded husband

Of all the news glossy or not
The story that frightens me  most
From Wuhan China a Panda
Chases and kills a peacock
