Seasonal Serpents

Senryu Series

~seasonal serpents
       slither in unsalted seas…
             reasons unseasoned

~serpent, psychosis 
      permeate unsalted seas… 
             carnal enmity 

~emotion’s ocean
          many reasons unseasoned…
              thoughts expendable 

For and in Honor of Brian Strand
