snake charmer
Snake charmer
I am the waiting dust
dried, sloughed
shed scales tucked
in a corner forgotten
yesterday's skin
while she glitters eyes,
tinkles music
forgetting karmas and corazons
heat and longing
no, I am just the dust
as she licks her lips
soon wetted, soon dispensed
medusa
seducer
look not
in the mirror
at truth
you may not like
what you see
the stones of silence
will bind you
as the dust lays
at their feet
and karma will play it's own song
maybe
you'll hear it
