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
