Constrictor
can you feel my charge
and it's quickenin'
coursin' your nervous systems
caressin' your soft supple skin?
then I slither up the nape of your neck
and down
the front of your blouse
to warm my
cold blood by your heart & hearth
& hardy kindlin'
can you feel me straighten and stiffen
as a gasp is
stolen in stimulation
(my hood's intimidatin' proliferation)
stand straight up inside then flatten
against your tender loins and pouting quim
all set to
strike at your retraction
you're
so charming me with
fearful submission
but I'm still hissin'
and writhin' within
when I'm
sprayin' your delicate flesh
with my frothy poison
