Have you played with a black snake lately?

Information about black snakes

The Black Snake - a poem by Mary Oliver

Poem by me --

Captured

No need to slither through
hip-high grass along ditches
of gravel paths to north meadow,

nor need for vigilance
of roaring blades
cropping roadsides before winter.

Finally attuned to touch of foreign skins
and gliding through rocks
transported from river-beds

and sunbathing in fluorescent rays
safe, fortunate, fed
and enslaved to live a life on stage.

Panamanian Ship

Wide-eyes deflect sea mist
ripples roll against Ferry's sides
cargo delivery
slips out of view
farm boy's
first time at sea

Holiday Newspaper

news2

new1

Heavy holiday newspaper
four pounds of materialism,
stacks of temptation
disguised as Black Friday.

Razors, rollers
horns and honey;
specialty foods aplenty.

Accumulate happiness.

Stand in artificial light

swipe plastic

search among strangers
on a mutual quest
to fill attics with

with next year’s
Thanksgiving
blessings.
