Rattlesnakes
You and I
Snake's nest.
Rattlesnakes
In warm summer
Under a weeping willow
We're weeping in sleep suntrap
Burning deep down and downtown.
You and I suntrap and sleeplessness.
Exhausted and enclosed
For a life.
Dis-barefaced.
Pale tiny berries
People.
Poisonous and earthly
Under the weeping willow
Asleep
Back to back
Hands intertwined
People de-relict
And disvioleted
By rattlesnakes,
Rings
Around
The neck.
