young lizards leap like psychotic bucks
scrambling their bone claws
ripping at your vest
to get their virulent teeth
deep into your tender neck
now thinking Vishnu
now thinking Glam
accented pearls in occulted silver set
of the faceted intellect
where blood lies cities
in the venomous vein
( I speak as Artemis
she that wields the bow
of sufferance)
their rattle
their little minds
need
lubrication
and the desecration
twitching eyelids
fever smell
never overtaken
