Looking forward
to
a walk
among the snakes
free
at last
not immortal
or impervious
but acclimated
to their existence
serpents
attentive to
not being in
the wrong place
at
the wrong time
me
watching my step
in the place
I recognize
as home.
The poems here are from my collection, Lifeline, Volume One, 2002-03, and Volume Two, 2003-04. Each poem is identified only by its date. There is no other title. I will be posting a new poem each week.
