Tonight,
speaking for the dead,
a reflection
of a musical road
opens in the starry sky
to the sound
of rubber
on gravel.
See the split second
animal lives
as species struggle
to answer the call
of the twisted snake
inside them.
Might as well
eat both feet
up to the ankle
to form a human
Oroborus.
Tell the dog
this act
is symbolic
and she is safe
even when she hears
stomachs
jump start
the wild hunt.
