The End

I once saw a green snake Its innards were splayed-out as the sun did it bake-- But its eyes I remember most-- This was not "zero to the bone" nor "into that goodnight" Something different this was-- And so I write this because The fire was gone still the light flickered dim It was soon to come...soon friend-- A passive acceptance of 'What Was and What Will Be', The eyes said it all-- So Sorry Charlie...The End The End 9/12/'13
