Desert Sands

Desert sands Elongated albino snake skin slithering smoothly across shadowed spaces seeking shelter cowering in the crevasses amidst the dunes concealing their identity naturally driven- triggered by instinct rising to defend their territory heads held in majestic poise blackened casings shrouding secret privacies burnt orange bellies protruding from sunken, empty caverns reflecting orbital rays Para mounting over frightened oases Tickling scorching blue skies V-notched tongues framing a desert painting Trapping the white, summer orb in between flaccid ribbons Exposing its reality Virgin to its surroundings Uncertain of what is looming around the bend.
