Reptilian Whisperings
*Ipse *** caro sit reservat iram, et propitiationem petit a Deo: quis exorabit pro delictis illius*?
He that is but flesh, nourisheth anger, and doth he ask forgiveness of God? who shall obtain pardon for his sins?
-Ecclesiasticus 28:5
Like Cleopatra’s asp they want to cuddle
Against one’s heart: resentments slithering
About, indignities, enormities
Demanding incessant indulgences
Their reptilian whisperings hissering
Self-pity, inverted self-spiraling,
In closing, falling, dying loops until
Nothing is left even to pity itself
They are writhing about us even now -
Like Cleopatra’s asp they want to cuddle
