The City -1
The City -1
[ ...For lone invisible years,
I had been with a snake...
It didn’t leave me...
I didn't leave it either...
We hadn’t chased each other...
It came and went often...
One day,
I tried to tie it around my nude neck
Like a tie...
When it slipped off away...
The other day ...
I tried to curl it up
Around my nudity...
I slipped off away...
To a distance
From where I could
Talk of sex.
It remained like a symbol
Silent but expressive.
We had each other
In and within
But never left ]
