Circle the throat and arms of her,
And over the sands serpents move warily
Slow,
menacing

Swinging to the whistles and drums,
The whispering, whispering snakes,
Dreaming and swaying and staring,
But always whispering, softly whispering.

Who fail of movements in their

heartily
apologise for the severe
