Bitten
beneath a baobab
his eyes roll across
a cobra venom sky.
his leg has swollen blue
above two bleeding holes
of fanged naked flesh.
behind his eyes, he drifts...
a red hyena sniggers,
a green spider monkey
peels a bright blue banana.
a silent windmill stands,
a circle slowly spinning,
slowing down and
stopping.
a black silhouette
against the cobra venom sky.
