lyrics
Underneath
a fruit tree
I was eating
because my
appetite
was demanding
when a snake
slithered down
a tree trunk
he was laughing
he was laughing
the last time
that this sly
snake had eaten
was two weeks
a rodent
in some garden
with no molars
just two fangs
full of poison
full of poison
winter came
as we spoke
evolution
I asked him
when he was
almost frozen
"Who's laughing now?
The mammals
or reptiles
without the sun?"

Heaven Among The Hills
