1 of 2 Pond Life Diary
Garter Snake
In this summer heat
even snakes get a thirst on
and this one seems parched.
I spied him weaving through the
mossy rocks and yellow celandine
on an urgent mission to drink.
Tongue-testing. For what?
Potability? Temperature?
Whatever it is he dips his head
and slakes his thirst silently then,
to my surprise, he glides deeper
into the pond and S-swims to the
far side where he finds a crevice
and is gone.In this summer heat
