Look into the eyes of a Rattler
Eyes cold blooded, stone still.
Drawn to the kiss from the Cobra
A Cobras kiss from the hood.
Running in time in line of the Mamba,
To feel the hug from the Python
Africa's great.

Crowning the strpes of the King
To constrict the thoughts of what the Boa brings.
Memorise and order the stripes and the colours
Of the Coral.
Wrestle the Anoconda.
Swallow the values of a viper.
See the Snake
Hear the Snake
Feel the Snake
Speak the Snake.
A shedded skin of an old fear, climb inside the Serpant.
