A Boa Strikes Samoa Poem by Nellie Isabelle Steward Cooper

A Boa Strikes Samoa



Bright as disaster
The morning sky
Far above
A burnished sea

Leans close

As though to devour
Not just one
But all-

Holds still-
For one small signal waiting

To spread its length, slip down
The rope of day

And crush
The soft-delicate,
Bones of earth

A Boa Strikes Samoa
