Snake And Mouse Poem by Rose Mars
Snake And Mouse
Snake and Mouse
Eyelid slide, shutter click
Bristle of fur, whisker twitch
A furious beat, a tiny heart
A drum, a time piece, with no escapement.
All the while, scales of gold
Moving, articulated, slow
A calculation, a maneuver
Black-eyed, dead-eyed, taught.
Inside, darkness falls, contraction,
A gentle slide to oblivion.
