[a taste of otherness]

the flicker
of the black snake’s tongue
at the toe of my shoe
a taste of otherness
among the iris

    a very interesting tanka and a most unique, and effective, pivot.

    i'll be watching my own shoes ...

      Thanks, Janet! Recently found a black snake skin in our barn, intact and perfect from eyelids to tail--
      and 6' 3" long!
