The Hand and the Snake Pt. II
The snake awoke the next day to find the flower still in his hand. Its brightness still radiated in its petals, but overall it did not gleam as brightly than it did the night before. The snake grew worried, sponging in all the possibilities, all the faults he must have done-what did he do that was so terribly wrong? What was it that he had not done properly in order to kill the flower of the woman he wanted? Frantically, the snake ran from his dark space and out into the light.

"'The years shall run like rabbits
For in my arms I hold
The Flower of the Ages,

Converse with me
Converse to traverse
Traverse across the plain
Traverse across the prairie
Prairie of peat
Prairie of wheat
Wheat the appetite
Wheat blown to wind
Wind the toy

Gap of echoes

Sighs left to and by
Sighs dipped, dripped, and fried
Fried wires
Fried brains on a pan
Pan through the message
Pan through the gold
Gold worthed
Gold dented
Dented not with conversations
Dented with excruciations
Excruciations of awkwardness
Excruciations of seeing her
Her with hair
Her in sweats
Sweats that make me sweat
Sweats that make me bet
Bet what little
