Damn snake! Again she burrows
under the saltmarsh, feigning her
hurt as long fangs tear my skin.
She pumps her poison with precision
tripping the already injured into
her coils to strangle in her death grip,
gurgling last breaths before entering
the cold black.

Damn snake! Again she is sidling about
smelling her victories over the brilliant minds,
sniffing for their perfect mate, she lacerates
their ankles, and they fall among the bones she
collects like porcelain dolls.

Even with insects-
some can sing
some can't

-Issa
