Snaking their way into the city,
the pilgrims wait to view death
to guarantee everlasting life.
What irony!

Back up three paces
and think....

a surrealistic scene April 2005,
millions heading to St Peter’s Square
to say goodbye to Pope John Paul,
even as thousands of women
fight their way each day
to family planning clinics

I shake my head at these lines
of life and death
coiled within
the slither of a snake.
