Snake ~WS Merwin When it seemed to me that whatever was holding me there pretending to let me go but then bringing me back each time as though I had never been gone and knowing me knowing me unseen among those rocks when it seemed to me that whatever that might be had not changed for all my absence and still was not changing once in the middle of the day late in that time I stood up from the writings unfinished on the table in the echoless stone room looking over the valley I opened the door and on the stone doorsill where every so often through the years I had come upon a snake lying out in the sunlight I found the empty skin like smoke on the stone with the day still moving in it and when I touched it and lifted all of it the whole thing seemed lighter than a single breath and then I was gone and that time had changed and when I came again many years had passed and I saw one day along the doorsill outside that same room a green snake lying in the sunlight watching me even from the eyes the skin loosens leaving the colors that have passed through it and the colors shine after it has gone =============================================== -----missed you too, time flies don't it
