snakes are not
hypocrites-
(we transfer
our worst
qualities
on to
nature..)

i picked a snake
up by it´s tail
and it sunk it´s
fang into my
hand
(and was not the
least sorry..!)

i gently prized
it´s delicate jaw asunder
and put it
in the long grass
-no half ***´d
apology
over the shoulder
or

complaint..
i don´t know why
i can´t help it
i have always
been like it
no-one loves me..
i am hated..

away untouched
and forgot
silk and dust
in perfect
present
shake belly
eyed beauty
one way
only..
