I have followed mice
To the mouths of snakes
Coiled round the legs
Of a ladder to God.
In the field where an old bird made love
To a man made of straw
I tried to steal his hat.

I have placed a foot upon the ladder,
And fell.
I have swam in the blood of those half eaten Mice
Listened to their dying words,
I never understood a squeek-
and the hat don't fit.

Pretty nice visualisation. But, don't snakes tend to eat their food, completely? Gutted with the straw hat.

;)

They're awesome.

I guess it's more like, inside the snake... and they're half eaten because they're half digested? Not really sure, it was just the image which came to mind.

Good imagery, and effective concepts. Well done :)
