The Snake
The Snake
When after days of rain,
The sun appears
The snake emerges,
Green-gold on the grass.
Kept in so long,
Hi basks for hours
Soaks up the hot bright sun.
Knowing how shy he is of me,
I walk a gentle pace
Letting him doze in pace
But to the snake, earth-bound,
Each step must sound like thunder.
He glides away,
Goes underground.
I’ve known him for some years;
A harmless green grass-snake
Who, when he sees me on the path,
Uncoils and disappears.
