The One That Slithered Away

A snake slithers down the French window

I’m barely inches away

And move backward

Stifling a scream

The snake is just living its life 

It is but another day

As it seeks shelter from the heat

We humans are in awe and fear

Of serpents

Since they can strike at any time

Strike us dead 

But it just slithers away

As if disturbed by all the commotion

All it wants to do

Go its way
