The Serpent Without a Heart

I once met a serpent without a heart.

She was quite the spectacle.

Layer upon layer, I scathed away.

Her scarlet numbing; this frightened me.

The unreachable, unidentifiable sufferer suffering.

I was fetching a log boat as the play finally began.

And now I have a peculiarity for my pity.

For we can tell the future, for we know thy nature.

Acceptance is forgiveness. Forgiveness is love.

There are far worse ways [].

Why do your eyes give you away?

Bewildering issues with boundaries yet,

You dance,

You strike.

Vividly and viciously.

Soul upon soul.

As if everyone is suspecting refrain.
