Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

The Snake Dances Past Them

The snake dances past them in the air
    Fear frozen in eyes of charming pair
  Hyenas cackle, vultures on high
    streaks of lightning stab the sky

  A night not fit for man or beast
    blood gushing from ancient fountains
  Apparitions looming every place they turn
    O, for creature comforts do they yearn
