Askúquand Auntau - The Snake Spirit Speaks

You’ve heard the Serpent Speak, you know.
      Angry, the Great Serpent sounds like thunder...
           Content, the Underwater Panther purrs with the sound of trickling water...
The Great Serpent sounds like every kind of rain.
The Great Serpent sounds like Water.

Thinking about Water - and Water Protectors,
I walked up to the Falls from the floodplain fields below,
All alone, but Surrounded by Great Serpents made of stone,
Suddenly in the middle of a huge
    – and loud -

Gathering of Crows...
