Python Kilimanjaro
Absence makes a weary heart
Makes a mountain fond of being climbed
Absence makes the hunger thin
Spread like mist within
And the pythons thicken black
To sweep the rain across the harvest
Waiting to be fed
Waiting to be satisfied
And the inchworm sidles forth
Soon he’ll be a snake but thick
To climb the broadest mountain’s back
And cure the vacant hunger
