I am the mongoose in this affair. I want things to happen as they do here in this work, but unfortunately things do not turn out efficaciously for me so, I live in this poem.


The Tango of The Mongoose and The Cobra

One, two step.
And the rose falls like a dream lost.
The cobra passes with its eye on the mammal.
The mongoose, unafraid stands his ground.

Slide in the grass,
Creep in the tracks
Stand on high,
Ready for the kill.

Love has turned to hate,
My disposition is not of venom,
But of sheer defense.
Lust turns to war,
My stance is clear,
I will clear your head, without remorse.

One, two step.
And the dream falls like a dropped rose.
The cobra fees like a coward. The mongoose waits til their next encounter, in hopes to quell this unfortuante circumstance.

It is all about the environment. In my part of America we have rattle snakes but no mongoose. Maybe the elk and the mountain lion here. The young lady really did a number on you sorry. I am amazed by the courage of a mongooses as it stands up against cobras.
