Venomous snakes, hard rains savage
Mercury, Venus and Mars
hissing like boas and rattlers
plunging into rocky reservoirs
On Earth, gentle rains dance lightly
atop welcoming green lawns
Perfuming Spring's warm, soft air
refreshing the world at dawn
I don't chirp very much... anymore.
I prefer to showcase this journey in stanzas.
Those open-ended cages
that shooting stars and rattlers
occasionally escape from.
I choose not to be around the "them."
the earth stream is cascading with "them"
the users
the flamethrowers of hurt and abuse
the spoilers of the soul
Polluters of good dreams.
I prefer to nest in a maelstrom of verse,
and songs that bleed out into shadows.
SNAKES IN RURAL PENNSYLVANIA
The snakes in his head
were timber rattlers, easily
agitated, disinclined to fight,
their rattling a warning to all
before slipping away silently from
conflict or harm
Unfortunately for the fortunate son
his bride to be was a young copperhead,
golden brown and beautiful on the
dark forest floor among the stones and
wet soil of a Blue Mountain summer,
and unlike the rattler she was silent
and aggressive, looking for a fight!
