Actuarial Innocence

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
