I see it's tail
Slip thru straight green leaves
And wonder where it's
Slithereing off to.
Where are you snaking to
Snake?
Off to strangle another victim?
Do you
Slowly twist your body around her neck?
Listen to those whispers of
Sinking breathes.
Do you
Sink your sharp fangs into her skin?
Deliver a dose of sweet venom
A poison which
Stings her veins and
Swells her tongue with a sour taste.
You have slipped away again.
Into the darkness
of other creature's bad memories.
The ones that make ears twitch
at the sound of faintly rustling leaves.
You love to lurk in that quiet place.
Those calm meadows where we are all unsure
If it is you
Or the wind
Making the grass bend.
Then suddenly
We feel your teeth
Sink into our ankle and we try to recall
With our last softening breathes
A time when the wind was ever known to bite.
