Python in a New York Subway & Be gone with Ye

Python in a New York Subway
Miriam Danar posted me a message telling me the news that her work, "Begonias at the window, on this cold and grey snow-day " was placed among two other entries in the Photograph of the Week Competition run by New Yorkled.
I thought, ah, an opportunity to possibly get a little creative. An hour or so later I had done very little other than to see if loading the image as a screen saver might inspire me.
So you might say I started to doodle, digitally. Using the colour scheme of Miriam winning photograph I began to build an image, working with the Clone Tool to pick up this and change that and tweaking it here and tweaking it there.
The bright yellow of the vent in Miriam's photograph put me in mind of a New York Taxi and after a while thinking of transport I titled my first effort, "Python in a New York Subway."
I liked the image but I thought I would attempt to take my ideas further, to include darker thoughts that have been playing around in my mind prior to viewing the 3rd series of "the Walking Dead."
After a number of hours I produced an image that I was pleased with but I could not think of a title other than "Be gone with Ye."
Flowers the mask
That cover dead
While all about they are walking
Sometimes on green
And sometimes on red
Not knowing there's a python
That will snap off their head

Central Park Lake by Dave Beckerman
2008. Central Park Lake. San Remo towers in background. In 2008 I began to shoot with digital infrared. This was done with a camera that was modified to only transmit infrared to the sensor; at a spot by the willow trees where I like to sit down and get away from the noise and rush of the city.
Central Park - Dave Beckerman
This is from infrared film (Kodak HIE) which isn't produced any longer. It was shot in 2003.??We're on the other side of the bridge, looking towards 59th street. Black and white infrared film makes green leaves, grass etc. white.
Shakespeare silhouette in Poets Walk, photographed with infrared film (Kodak HIE) about 2007 with Leica M3.
Media: 35mm Film
Keywords: Vertical, The Secret Garden (from the novel)
Central Park North, 2006 (Infrared film). You turn a corner in the formal gardens, and surrounded by hedges is this reflecting pool and statue. The figures are based on the book, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnet, which was also a fantastic movie.
Central Park by Dave Beckerman
This is from a large format camera, circa 1993. Location: along park path under East Drive near the Boathouse and Central Park Lake. Built: 1862 by Vaux and Mould In architectural lingo, ”trefoil” means a design featuring 3 lobes, like a shamrock. Consequently, ‘quatrefoil’ and ‘cinquefoil’ mean designs featuring 4 and 5 lobes.
This shot is from 1990, 35mm film. Bethesda Terrace is on two levels, united by two grand staircases and a lesser one that passes under Terrace Drive to provide passage southward to the Elkan Naumburg bandshell and The Mall, of which this is the architectural culmination, the theatrical set-piece at the center of the park. The upper terrace flanks the 72nd Street Cross Drive and the lower terrace provides a podium for viewing the Lake. The mustard-olive colored carved stone is New Brunswick sandstone, with a harder stone for cappings, with granite steps and landings, and herringbone paving of Roman brick laid on edge.
