two newborn garter snakes slither
like placeless rivers in concert
through the dancing delphiniums
they find their way–
God only knows how and to where–
through the foreboding snapdragons
then
disappear into thin air
an alien abduction maybe
but gone in any case
the rest of the day
while not over
seems to limp in the direction
of where the tiny snakes
exited the universe

Ah!

placeless rivers in concert, i like that alot, very nice poem too,
Thanks Aurora, Floots, Gautami, and Polona. I appreciate your comments. Yes, whimsy. Yes, snakes leaving the universe for snake nirvana, Yes to everything else. After all, it is Friday.
i love the idea of snakes exiting the universe… finding eden, perhaps?
A snake poem? Who would have thought of it?
I truly enjoyed it.

especially that first stanza
