a snake

[kevinloberger]

A very large snake was crossing the road just ahead of me-fat, heavy, moving lazily; it was coming from a largish pond a little way off. It was almost black and the light of the evening gave to its skin a high polish. It moved in a leisurely way with dignity and power. It was unaware of me watching.

I am sure it was aware of you but you were far enough away that it wasn't worried about you

This, is poetry.
