Snake talk: trickery

ESTHER M. SCHECK PETERSON

If we want to know
God's spiritual phenomenon,
we'd be wise
(as Eve was not)
to pay no heed to trickster's rot,
which has no bearing on God's truth.
And as for trickster—
error ignorant/ malicious—
let it crawl on belly
and feed on dust
as serpent must.
It has no leg
to stand on!
