King Cobra
You are King Cobra
Eyes the black eyes of mirrored fear
Blind my bright eyes, true no more
Poison poised behind glass orbits
Frantic reduction
Cut your losses
Retreat.
Raised on my face the black flag of retreat
Cunning Creature
Fast ardent inflammation
elongated ribbon sketch-work
Rise
Circle-loop-circle
the old face of death
again begins once more
Circle-loop-circle
Eyes turning purple
What new, dark, sacrament awaits?
The coroner or
The coronation?
