Anaconda Heart
Anaconda heart entranced
By tight embraces, quickened glance
Called to midnight by the sound of
Drifters in the moonlight pond
Enter into my domain where
Frozen sheets of lightning rain
Grow up from the ground of prickled pain
Hardly cause for concern
I'm the invisible link to you
Just enough of nothing to prove
Kiss of constriction, heart on the move
Love like a losing battle
Mist of mountains blind our eyes
Nameless birds grow wings and fly
Olive branches, claws delights
Presented in the heat of passion
Quick to loosen the years which bind
Rest in limbo with a blood vessel mind
Snap the branch and I'll quickly descend
To the ground where starvation reigns
Under the cover of the slate washed moon
Valiant apologies slip through the room
Water for drowning or learning to swim
X-rays of novelty's thin, fractured limbs
Yellow in belly and tight in the chest
Zealous in love and in war...
