beginning - a photo on Flickriver

beginning

            Where life has no purpose,
and is neither civil nor intelligent,
it begins
to rain, 
it begins 
to smell like the bodies 
of flowers.
At the back of the neck 
the old skin splits.
The snake shivers
but does not hesitate.
He inches forward.
He begins to bleed through 
like satin.
