Two blacksnakes entwined,
their musk makes their lovemaking
just five feet away.
Their winter carport corner
unmolested year-to-year!

glass snake skitters by
stilled shovel as I marvel:
turning earth surprise!
I’m raising tadpoles
to keep my snakes fit and fat
with ‘zards for dessert
The reason I keep
notebook and pen right beside
where I go to sleep
is to charm the snake that keeps
waking me up with my* thoughts!
*(substitute ‘its’ or ‘your’ in place of ‘my’?)
long big black snake takes
a sun bath by the garden
between two hide-outs
i long have been wondering
if you have met the black cat

a sun bath by the garden
between two hide-outs

I crash – and do crash – again.
Smell no snake or bear!
(with apologies to Marjorie and of course her mean ol’e bear)
Reptiles smell distinct
with ‘snake-fume’ on top:
next, gopher tortoise!
The svelte young blacksnake,
its head above the high grass,
weaves like a cobra.
