#2257 - the snake

the snake

 

turned out to be just another creature

frog in throat, lice mauled

eking out like the rest

 

quite unaware of symbolic value

nothing at all like the book had said

that was a pack of lies, unhelpful

 

it was only after we’d had the head off

fought to the finish

we discovered this
