The Horned Snake
The snake snatched
it;s single horn clipped
for strong medicine,
to be used on a worrier
or a chief who,
is facing a valley of death from bullets
would be brave, unfinding
- - - - - untouched
when moon looked the other way
eclipsed,
and stillness, stark marked
stillness
made earnings,
the snake bobbed up from
the wildest of wild things
_ _ _ gave its horn
to the medicine man.
