slither
serpentine valentine
protein-rich reptile
caterpillar-crawl
on my spine
slowly slowly show me
how green you can be
occupy this valley
name it
your promised land
this back
this bare
bare
back
resting defenseless
i surrender to promises
so you can
effortlessly effortlessly
slide inside
serpentine valentine
protein-rich-reptile-
neophyte-butterfly-hybrid
show me show me show me
how green this land can be
slither, under
creep, seep
deep into me
and slither
slither
slither out
effortlessly
cocoon-break
Judas-style -
fly.
