pine snake
squiggles over sun hot
stones & belly rubs.
the water past her tongue
trickle water lilypad
like a prayer kiss
while a frog
watches from a rock
shadow
afraid to move.
until his throat rises
like a bad idea
the snake lifts her head
& the frog jumps.
water snake chuckles
at frog panic,
ain't no reason to fill
my belly with cold
frog guts
when the mice babies,
their eyes closed,
no fur to mess with,
peep-sing like birds.
kiss them &
invite them in.
Mama mouse quiet
as a scared frog,
gets away.
