Jungle Soup

I concentrate on a bowl of soup
flushed clear with surprise.

As I look closer into this bowl of clear soup, a story is revealed:

Jungle man paints a woman.
She follows him up a tree
and gets bitten by 2 large snakes
bigger than the  tree trunk.

She becomes as wild as he.

Jungle man paints a diagonal line
on the side of his weathered house.
He does this in a very precise manner,
flipping the paintbrush-

End to brush
Brush to end
End to brush
Brush to end

He finishes by smothering
the end of the line.

Much like a swinging donkey tail.
