bull snakes

a walk in the woods
near dog gypsys angel patch
close to her cabin porch
a bull snake slithering
into a broken angel statue
a friend carefully removed
each broken piece
secured the snake in his hand
and headed for the back of the woods
where he released it
he said it was a male
on his way back he ran into the female
and also released it in the back of the woods
bull snakes play dead when captured
they hiss at you and bite
they are not poisonous
this is their woods
we are the visitors
