Firstly, one has to hollow out the snake
Twist a blade into its end and blow the green trumpet
The red noise is loud but is only a short blast
Keep it alive and angry by feeding the snake itself
Till it can stomach no more
Then, cast it like a light rod with lighter line
Cast it behind you as far back as you can remember
The snakehead will bite hard and gulp
Pull tight and keep the column taut
Put your lips to the hole and suck
On the blending tide of what has been done and what was never
Done but the 2 open lids of the rolling snake-eyes knows the answer
To its own venom and it will tell you in its own innards and your
Own insides what needs to be done and just how to blend the two
When the act is over, one begins again
This time, cast heavier and not so long
Or fill the blade hole with moss
Crouch and release into tall grass
Back away and be wary of reprisal for
The serpent now has two heads
