The Snake

Lifting his head
To taste the dark–
Multifoliate.

The rose is shrunken
Inward on the stem.
The grass is wet.

Over and over
I tell myself:
Selfishness is
The first great sin.

    Hi, Naomi.
    I miss your guts. I don’t know if you check facebook anymore. That’s the only way I knew to get in touch with you. I left you a message. I’m moving to India. I’m leaving tonight. I need your summer address, so I can write you.
    Love.
