Silently a snake slithers <br />Calculating the errs of <br />Physics and kinetics <br />A fray of inertia and love. <br /> <br />A tree, <br />Reticent, acquiesce to the snake’s hiss <br />And modest wonders - <br />A waltz over slivers of fire. <br /> <br />The snake’s dance - <br />A sluggish skirmish <br />With darling sojourns <br />The grass rustles upon <br />The serpent’s eloquent body <br />Cushioning the Earth <br />On its way to a taut coil <br /> <br />The flowers stop prying <br />As they shed their petals, <br />The other trees jealous, <br />The breaths of the foliage <br />Are ridiculed to somnolence, <br />The other creatures, <br />Taken aback <br /> <br />As the snake spirals <br />The tree – an inviting helix.<br /><br />Windsor Guadalupe Jr<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/slither-4/
