Buried

10/28/10

Snakes, snails, and puppy dog tails

would you know them

if they were yours?

As they wiggle, would you feel them slither

in your bones?

Maybe that's the creeping chill,

the shiver born

from creatures all to obvious to see.

Even now as I say it... as I ask...

you feel them acting up trying to

bury deeper and lie low.

But it's too late,

because now,

you know.
