Animalia


“Jailbait and black snakes are two things I won’t touch with a window pole”  - Breece D’J Pancake
                                                                                          


Warm weather guests
trespass to
bathe in
radiating lakes.


Bare
skin imprinted
as if
grass
pushed back.


Sweet sweat
coconut;
she bakes.
She browns
vanilla cakes.


He studies
celestial bodies
but geology does not
please 
like this.


It took millions of         years to perfect these         hills


                                                               and they will outlive
                                                                                              our Animalia
                                                                                                                appreciation.
Dynamite clouds
break Kyanite
until it leaks
metallic streaks.


Forked tongues
strike & lick.
Heat quivers
like ribbons,


they slither.
out of sight
for cover


There are
no
snake charmers
after


dark. 
Just a ridge arching 
its back; 
fur standing 
on end,
                                                      steaming.
