Steve Klepetar<\/h1>\n

A Story<\/span><\/h2>\n

I\u2019ll tell you a story about a frog
\nand a snake and a tree
\nthat grew by the river\u2019s edge,<\/p>\n

how that tree leapt up into light,
\nits branches wound through
\nthe canopy,<\/p>\n

how the green frog listened,
\nheard the tree\u2019s roots
\nsucking moisture from the earth,<\/p>\n

and it watched the little snake
\nemerging from a hole in the rock
\nand the snake danced, its bullet head<\/p>\n

weaving patterns in the air
\nand the tree danced in the wind,
\nits branches waving and its leaves<\/p>\n

shuddering in the dark
\nas the frog sang in velvet heat, of echoes
\nand shadows and tongues flicking in the light of stars.<\/p>\n
