Casting off skins of you <br />Just those fragment thoughts of you <br />Shed as your love grew towards her <br />Sealed inside some sorry beast <br />With tight lipped straps <br />Like coiled rinds <br />Empty of white serpents <br />They squeeze the threads of you <br />Like the coiled ones <br />Around my heart <br />Squeezing and peeling <br />Parts of me<br /><br />Simone Inez Harriman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/empty-serpents/
