The knoll has become a
minefield of the flesh.
A black mamba hangs
from the nearest tree.
Rabid prairie dogs
lie in ravenous wait.
The egrets have fangs
and there are crocodiles
in the green fountains.
I wish I could keep you
far away from here.
But the mamba spits
your name and my lips
are bleeding for water.
