thy darlin’ ‘s been snarlin’ ever since ye left The Garden
and thy newfound cock hardened.
“another snake needs charmin’” she ribs, barrin’
a pardonin’…
Lord, this double helix––peel it apart or unreel it
to reveal its secrets…
release us from The Wheel or else floor it un-
til story’s end…
“descents into base penchants block The Entrance for descendants!”
I can say with all prescience…
vengeance engines rendin’ apart defenses––
it’s relentless…
once i was a miracle––object of tears and heart strings pulled…
everyone could start over…
now i lunge for my fungibles as i plunge towards
The Underworld…
ye’d broken thy covenant with thy very first government,
now each must discover this:
there’s no recoverin’ or touchin’ nothin’
sans oven mitts…
rattled enough to saddle up and skedaddle deep into bluffs––
roughshod and tumbleweed…
it’s humbling to ford the streams of each other’s dreams,
flower, bumblebee…
