he cast a monolith upon the grass
to loom above the garden snake all sinuous and small
startled from her burrowing
by the towering shadow that over her fell
all languorous for want of summer sun
the serpent knots and writhes within the shadow's pall
bares her fangs to earthy air
and exposes the cavern of her inner walls
that's echoed by the chiffon length of skin
which twists and curls off from her twitching tail
ghosting down between the blades
a corporeal timeline in gossamer trail
the monolith is caked with dirt and leaves
and now a sheath of shedded scales
stretched halfway into the light
she reposes in wait of the rain, and is still.
