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.

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

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. |
