You and I <br />Snake's nest. <br /> <br />Rattlesnakes <br />In warm summer <br />Under a weeping willow <br />We're weeping in sleep suntrap <br />Burning deep down and downtown. <br /> <br />You and I suntrap and sleeplessness. <br />Exhausted and enclosed <br />For a life. <br />Dis-barefaced. <br />Pale tiny berries <br /> <br />People. <br /> <br />Poisonous and earthly <br />Under the weeping willow <br />Asleep <br />Back to back <br />Hands intertwined <br />People de-relict <br />And disvioleted <br /> <br />By rattlesnakes, <br /> <br />Rings <br /> <br />Around <br /> <br />The neck. <br /> <br />Translated from Macedonian: Zorica Petkoska<br /><br />Afrodita Nikolova<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rattlesnakes-2/
