Comatose Snakes by M.A.Meddings

Comatose Snakes.

By M.A.Meddings.

After all, it was only a pool,
left empty and bare,
to November rain.
Yet in Summer,
hot Spanish skies,
it was alive,
with sun tanned adornment,
In holiday mood.
All gone now.
Stragglers remain.
Leaving the peace,
to maintenance crews,
dark pump rooms,
and comatose snakes.
