Snake

Sylvie M

Sliver the ripple of silver, slide the shapes coloured gold
Naked scales with diamond patterns, don’t be afraid to run,
but some other little squiggles just stick out their tongue
A log, do you really think? Well, that’s completely wrong, if you look more closely you shall spy a chain of black under its eye
Kingdom of S’s is soon to come
Eager of the adder is trickling of the tongue, a sapling’s smile
is hardly fun
