Ovillejo

Katrina Morrison

Didn’t expect to find you here,
Slithering near.

Your scales so smooth provide shielding,
Yet unyielding.

A single amber stripe I see,
Cautioning me.

As I kneel here on bended knee,
We’re a terrestrial trinity,
Just earth, just you, it’s just us three.
Slithering near yet unyielding cautioning me.
