Snake; Free Verse
You wound yourself so silkily .
Squeezed.
Constricted.
Stunned me
with your sweet venom
Mistaken for the kiss of life.
Two wounds you left:
One for heart,
One for soul.
Fool!
I.
You.
In arid desert,
Shed skins
of tiny dulled diamonds,
which in the sun,
disintegrate.
I.
No fool now.
Breathe
the diamond dust away.
Unwound--
Unbound.
