WHEREVER WE GO

WHEREVER WE GO

never done it
with another snake

by wbich
I mean snake person
person born
in the year
of the snake

the surprise
of our bodies
fitting exactly
the coils of our
twinned souls
intertwined

finishing each others’ sentences
Before they end
half way through
before
   they even started

so same-same locked in
slithery sensual immortal combat

elapid, viper, rattler, ambush predator,
neuro hemo exery kind of
cocktail of venoms
to soothe, kill
in microseconds
     straighten out
where not python, anaconda
boa constrictor

so dovetail, stovepipe fit its
boring

so much hiss talk
      best footloose, foot sure,
rootless footnotes
to Plato

snakelets, snakelings such
an otherwise joy in the making
unless
   for this world just too
way too intense

curse of the snake  being one
to the core
    same cosmic signature
whatever do
   wherever we go

losing out in this time of bondings
     bindings self-
reflection

never
     made it with a snake of my
species opposite
of my gender

any which way how before
