the tiger and the snake

 
languidity interrupted
slow slithers still
pupils blacken
an irreversible encounter

short, sharp breaths
thick pulses
shoulders gather
uncoiled urges

a pounce answered
by hardened
squeezes, tightening
tightening

clawed grips
suckled fangs
pierced thrusts sk(in)wards
blood-essence flows

nerves ablaze

entangled limbs
clenched
relentless shivers
a thrash, a shift

renewed growls with mingled hisses
a triumphant roar
arched writhing
then shudders, life released

a gasp before
an embrace of stillness
