The Cat Chases its Tail

Voiceless innuendo,

absent delineation,

aspects of fear,

without representation.

Facts in the shadows,

the impression-the snake!

The gliding of motion,

ill wind in its wake.

Poised in the belly

to press down the head,

running in ovals,

in season, in stead.

The snakes are among you

outside of your grasp.

In the the bush is the viper.

At the heel is the asp.
