The serpent uncoils and bares blood-stained fangs
At the man with a burlap bag in hand.
Watch their surreptitious dance.
Malignant Strike! Graceful recoil-
The man counteracts with his stifling sack
While venom permeates his blood.
Equanimity
Despite equal enmity
At an impasse leaves beast and man.
