The serpent

Have you ever heard about a serpent

whose malicious method of attack

is to act lifeless and defenseless

at the bottom of a lake?

The prey, convinced that it is dead,

approach with their guard down

to pay the steep price of this crowning innocence

of encroaching on the executioner.

Like a deceitful snake,

time tends to give us the illusion

to think that its threat does not exist.

The youth, brief and beautiful,

leaves it lurking, a coward,

at the bottom of the lake.

And we dance, ignoring it,

unable to comprehend in our futile efforts

the betrayal it holds for us.

False flatterer, it pretends to give us

everything that it already knows

that soon it shall take away.

When we see the face of the serpent

when at the end of the ruse we realize,

it is often very late, far into the night

and we are almost always too tired.
