Description
a nest of serpents
lingers in your wrist.
occasionally they slump
to your eyes,
tease the peripherals
until you snarl,
choke animus with animus.
soon they are the only blemish,
a malignancy.
the sun frightens
and wraps them gently back
around each other,
around the underside of an ulnar.
to let them free,
snap each finger off backwards
and watch the slow leak.
