Slithering in on silent scales
tongue tasting
for scent of friends past
slitted eyes seeking
the heat of bodies known
and prey yet found
snaking through the minds
of those milling about
reading thoughts in prose
and rhyme
seeking refuge in silent corner
to watch and taste
the air of familiar ground
slithering in on silent scales

Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.
Nil Desperandum, Fata viem invenient

Outstanding.

Hadn't had the pleasure of reading your work before, but glad to be so fortunate.

I was wondering if my presence would go unnoticed or not...
