Us Anacondas

She's a good girl Born from the mouth of God Amid a celestial bout of sneezing She lay with me as the clock ticked Talking softly of her fear of colors Green ants and black turtles Orange sparrows and red, red water Fear not I bellowed The night caught the echo though And sent back nonsense for hours Your tongue is cooked black she cried Your hands are gray cruelty I wrapped my arms around her shivering Detached my lower jaw And swallowed her back up.
