Black Snake's Tale
by hughpierre
Do you see? Do you see?
Mongst the corn and the peas
Coiled and shaking
the mound it's making
Can't you see? Can't you see?
moving away from the patch, you see
It rattles, it hisses,
all the feathers it misses
Don't you see? Don't you see?
when it sinks to the dirt
and makes you hurt
it faints, it mates
Can you see? Can you see?
the eyes in the mud
A tail's soft thud
it's derisive snub
I see! I see!
the mark on your toe
blessed is struck another foe
