The Arizona Shadow Snake

There is a strange species of snake-
The Arizona Shadow Snake, Or
Tutus Unus
Reptilia
.

To escape the intense desert sun,
The Arizona Shadow Snake
Burrows deep-
Only faintly aware of the warmth from above,
Too scared to surface-
Only coming out at midnight to eat
And weep.

The Arizona Shadow Snake
is also the longest living animal
on the planet.
