Awesome.
Oh silvery snake, the day
I stroked your
quivering throat, felt the
strong pulse
of your muscular dryness,
hung your long
weight around my own
trusting shoulders,
stood while your carers
draped my neck
in your slithering mass
and my ears filled
with low whispering hiss
I had the most
unforgettable experience.
I will remember
ever the glint of aurora
gilding your skin,
that coldness of eye and
warmth of coat,
the closeness we shared
in those few
awesome moments until
as you slowly
wriggled away I smiled.
Moved, haunted
and forever beguiled by
your sinuous beauty.
