Snake

It was summer when I saw you first.

Were you lifeless?

Those stone cold eyes were

Unrehearsed.


I took a step, heedless.

You used your instinct,

And I used mine.

I look like such a mess.


All at once you knocked me over,

Sharp as an arrow and bow.

My vision blurred, it never cured.

The mud I can’t get off my skirt reminds me, though.


I still go back

To where the grass grows knee high.

The rose garden pulls me in: an amnesiac?

I’d rather be bit than never smell the roses.

After all, you’re the Nice Guy.
