What you thought was solid
ground
is not solid ground,
you feel a sickening slide
of subsidence
where you expected
strength enough to hold
Firm under you.
It seems that there is
something
Unseen underneath
Maybe snakes or rodents
that you didn’t know about.
You didn’t know
Snakes maybe or rodents,
living furtive sneak-thief,
Right under your feet.
Snakes
Or rodents maybe,
sly-snouted, danger-eyed
Hearts beating baleful
God’s creatures every one
God’s creatures
