Pastoral

A snake
Takes
The yard and
Garden,

Sways
As haze 
Does;

Buzz
Of bees
In leaves
Insist

He list
And cease
His

Hiss.
They sing
Of Spring,
The beautiful, 

Mutable
And mutual
Goal

Being
Is bringing
To yard and
Garden.

The snake
Takes
The song--

Gone
As one 
Flash

Through slashing
Stale grass;

Returns
With burn
Sounds

Round
The garden
Fountain
Curl-

S asleep and full.
