Sometimes a Snapdragon
sometimes a snapdragon
breaks the neck of necessity,
crushes the head of instinct.
the cheese in the trap,
the bait on the hook.
the proof in the poison,
love like antifreeze.
hearts snapped in bear traps,
hope singed by blue light.
cupid is an angry wasp
seeking those with allergies.
beware of vibrations in loud voices,
hollow logs and impulsive choices.
stay clear of fields of flowers,
dark quiet eaves and empty hours.
