Fascinating reading tonight by Ruth Padel of her poems ‘The Many Lives of the Snake Goddess’, courtesy @bristolpoetry.bsky.social. Here’s one I found earlier on Dartmoor. (A snake, not a poem.) Unlike the goddess I didn’t pick it up & wave it in the air. I picked my collie up & sidled past sharpish.
