For the Snakes |
| All your brambles, all your creeping vines |
| All of the trash that people leave behind |
| All your fine, fine columns poking up through the pond scum |
| We will have uses for these things when we come |
| Cracks in the marble you hauled in from the quarry |
| These will be seen by all in all their glory |
| Long hidden shadows of the places they came from |
| We will bring memories of these things when we come |
| All your abandoned things |
| Once fine vestments, statues with wings |
| They have their uses, every one |
| Let me slither across them in the sun |
| Pale imitations that you brought back from afar |
| We will show them to you as they are |
| Wind through the ruins, high and lonesome |
| We will have uses for these things when we come |
