Yesterday
A black lab
lay down
in the center
of tall grass
waiting
watching
twitching
not for
that chipmunk
eating
suet
strawberries
potatoes
seedlings
but for
a black snake
shining
scales
coiled
head erect
to move
Both
silent and still
they cross
species
class
with muscles
poised
while
all of us
gaze
