Down on the hot sand.
A slight breeze comes through.

Slither feeling you.

My lips are parched now
On your lips burning I feel
Me turn to ashes....

A FIT OF SHIVERS
CLOAKED IN SILENCE
PALE AS SNOW
PONDERING DESCENT
NO ONE KNOWS
MY IMAGINARY FEARS
CAREFUL AND QUIET
AS A CAT

THROUGH THE DARKNESS
SOAKED ANS SHIVERING....

They keep me up late at night
And tear me up inside
They suffocate me
And slither through my mind
Then like a cobra closing in
They strike...

so coral giant snake prowls 
on belly crawling

slither, slither, crawl
slimming wet snake walks
on belly crawling

Other times it appears to be some ethereal foil
And all I see is the vanity of the fleeting breath,
The uselessness of labor and the airs of tiring toil....

Boa, Constrictor and Anaconda were out on a slither.
They saw some animals up ahead, yonder, some hither.
I’ll get the baby.
I’ll get the hayseed.
With greedy appetites all three snakes were a quiver....
