Once filled with a writhing mollusk Now excavated and empty Enter at the mouth of a continually twisting cave To the left Curling deeper into the heart of the shell Shining and polished from years Of water lapping at the coating And brushing gently against the sand Iridescent green and blue fade into purple Suddenly The shell’s twisting cavity Ends

Inside a Snail's Shell
Once filled with a writhing mollusk Now excavated and empty Enter at the mouth of a continually twisting cave To the left Curling deeper into the heart of the shell Shining and polished from years Of water lapping at the coating And brushing gently against the sand Iridescent green and blue fade into purple Suddenly The shell’s twisting cavity Ends
