rubberized boots, high
laced
and white,
with cows on them,
she called
them her snake boots
when she went
out into the yard,
to rake
acorns.
copperheads
and black
snakes
were everywhere.
she was afraid
and unafraid at the same
time.
i watched her from
the window,
and wondered how long
this relationship
would last.
