Caren Krutsinger Poet Personification

Python Refuses To Share Lunch

little coil
shiver and shake
tiny squeeze
squeak
tah dah tah dah

anaconda arrives
need any help? she asks
python hisses a warning
constricting a bit tighter

louder squeak, then silence
dinner’s eyes pop out

python smiles
not about to
share her
lunch
anaconda 
slithers away
