Every December the snails come back
To my private Capistrano
Searching for the ancient sea
That used to be here
If you want to speak to snails
You must kneel down
And make surrender sounds
Quiet embryonic keening
As you crawl along behind
Following its silver thread
You didn't know you could be
So soft-hearted under
That fragile exterior
And keep coming back for more
