The Boa Constrictor

The boa constrictor grips  
thick muscle contracts
clamping, controlling, subduing  
 
Pressing into every gap
each pocket squeezed
all movement stifled  
 
The lifeless corpse swallowed whole  
it’s energy stolen  
It’s light extinguished  
 
The boa constrictor lays still
awaiting another free roamer  
to wander over dangerous ground
