BLACK AND BLUE

 Leg now black and blue.

Mohave rattler got you.

Put lots of venom in.

And you out here all alone.

There are many ways to die.

This is not a pretty one.

Slow and you got the double whammy.

Organs shutting down,

And breath,

You hardly have any now.

Warned you not to go alone.

You wouldn't listen.

Told me you would be alright.

I knew it wasn't true.

You like to go far off,

See what is beyond further still

And the sun is big and hot.

Got you this time.

Wandering in dreams too many.

And into the territory of

Your rattler visitor.

This place has a special name.

And now you are firmly in it.

Death valley.
