Garter Snake by Naila Moreira

Glyph, cipher, red-green scrawl.
I caught them as a little girl,
precise calculation, galaxy’s swirl.

Under an abandoned door
on a junk heap, in a field,
they were secrets to uncurl:

unkinking head, vertebrae, tail.
Civilization fell to crumble
where the sidewalk ends,

question mark, hurricane’s whirl,
first fistfuls of reliable order.

The italicized line is from Shel Silverstein.
