Too many tongues sliding
her first sneak
to the exhausted spoor
of that snapdragon kiss.
Don’t quail
our love will engrail
that holy trail

Snake me in
Snake me out

The spasms ailing through
my dilated peak
she split
my mouth-shutting words
to drip in
the throbbing pearl
I wasn’t allowed to sip.

Dragons’ midnight myth.
With my heartbeat toll
she crumbled
over the incensed end
off my feet.
