snake


   Mary Oliver

I once saw two snakes,
Northern species,
Moving rapidly passing the jungle,
Their body
Like two black whip,
Lifted forward beat;
In perfect concert,
Their heads held high
Belly with a slippery
Forward swimming;
In the tree,
Through the vines and branches,
Turn the stone,
Through the flower fields.
They travel
As a competition
Like a dance,
Like a love.
Robin shouted: rain
