SNAKE POEM

By
slowly silently slithering on the sand
i have my heart in my mouth at the sight
beating fast against my rib cage
peaceful, crawling on ahead of me

paused in my track
can't move no more

admiring this brown basking beauty
tracing a recurring s on the sand
i am in awe of the brown snake
emerald eyes glinting in the morning sun

scared and enthralled
i can never man up to kill one.

I started lighting things up for fun when I was a teenager, the exact age of which I could not remember now. I remembered the time I failed a test, I went back home and brought out a box of matches and lit the test scripts on fire. The joy I felt when the papers burnt erased the sorrow of failing the test. And the climax came when the score burnt. 62/70 looked beautiful when the flame erased the terrible score. Fire erase imperfections.
