Earthworms...

...butt their heads out
and as if too contained in the strong fragrance of wet sand,
they wiggle their way out into the open
to face in-the-face thundering, earth shattering pelting;
as they get beaten in their slimy stomachs,
they whine and cry unaudible in the roaring rains.

tomorrow,
when I see those moist roads,
I see also, those earthworms,
that wiggle past me
in their new strong forms,
like snakes that have shrunk
or snakes that are slowly growing big!
