Peeled Away

as a serpent sleeps ahead of the departed.

limp under flashes of yellow.

stretched to meet the ground it will cover

throughout its incarnation--without moving.

its blood icily curled up into drifting balls,

trickled over by warm effluxes. 

a stone in its mouth, a rose in its stomach.

peeled away.
