Collateral

A camel lies dying
Its back shattered and broken
A single thin straw
The passing winds only token.
The master stands nearby
Loading his wards to another beast
Idly pondering to continue on
Or slay the animal for a feast.
The unlucky wind
That brought the straw
Tries to escape
Dangers gaping maw.
The camel spits at its master
Spitting also at the breeze;
The two retreat faster
But upon their cloaks the curse does freeze.
The man stumbles and falls
A loud crack is heard in the night
The wind clutches his wing; the man his leg
Testament to the curses might.
Three lay there
Two hurt, one dying
Problems are being brought to bear
And one of them is sorely trying.
Cursed: the man who set the stack;
He shall never perform another gig
Cursed also: the breeze that brought the twig
That broke the camels back.
