I could only evoke sustained crawling and persistent
head hiding under a circular, compact (but not closed)

w/ silver eye & vertical black pupil, black intercalan
skin, and a forgorwise blue venter that runs upon the

a relatively large Rana cf. argensis from the snake
that had been swallowed head-first. Rain continues as
