Boa 1 Boa 2

Boa 1 
life flows like stealth, down
river, boa, stretch the banks
strike comes to the prey

     Boa 2
humidity, sun
river, body winding, strikes 
boa stretches prey

Hi Lenny, Thank you. I appreciate your commenting. I don't know anything about snakes. They are interesting. I have picked up quite a few of them over the years to study them up close. Maybe that was a bad idea since many of them are poisonous. Glad you enjoyed the image. Have a great day. Earl
