LYRICS
A hank of rope in the late hot sun; a curl
of bark; a six, an eight:
For adder is as adder basks.
of bark; a six, an eight:
For adder is as adder basks.
Deep in heather, coiled in gorse, sunk among
the winter stones:
For adder is as adder hides.
the winter stones:
For adder is as adder hides.
Darts, diamond sides, sine-wave swerves,
live-wire curves of force:
For adder is as adder glides.
live-wire curves of force:
For adder is as adder glides.
Echo of snake, self-escape, a left-behind ghost:
For adder is as adder sheds.
For adder is as adder sheds.
Rustle of grass, sudden susurrus, what
the eye misses:
For adder is as adder hisses.
the eye misses:
For adder is as adder hisses.
