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.
