The Poetic SnakeĀ
A poetic snake whisks far within
The quietness of its might creeps steadily in
Far and narrow its body swerves
Ready to attack the noise of the world
Above it the towers of metal
Below it the bustle of men
Around it an unnatural shutter
Inside it the wind of the earth
Harmony binds the two levels of thought
The city seeps its life into it
From within it enjoys the serenity received
Timeless is its bond with man
