Reptilian

i do i 
sleep
nude

shedding 
my snake
skin clothes

every night so
that i might
wake to

become
someone
new knowing

what i
knew
added

to everyday
always to
learn

at least if not
more then
one thing

that carries me
to the next
and as i

scribble down
and progress
upsetting

the ground of
knowledgeabillity with 
unending possabilaties

my changing
pigments
of this

and isn't 
as my eyes
separately in 

sockets turn
independently
taking all in

while waking today a
dermatological
version of a

crazy quilt
chameleon

Long Summer Days

She touches you. Her warm hands caress you from head to arms. She guides you, luring you toward her full embrace. You feel her fingers beneath your clothes. Her touch invigorates. She intoxicates you with a freedom only available in her company; this day walking, brilliant, heavenly orb. Her lips brush naked skin, leaving red lip-stick smudges wherever they kiss. While her finger tips toy with your DNA.

brilliant heavenly orb
humanity seducer
dermatological destroyer
