My slither is the salt bed underneath my skin
Hot pin pricks plucked like arrows from the sky
The birds twitter in the branches of the trees
Side by side they sit, black shadows alive among the leaves
My shadow separates. And I feel nothing
But something's annihilated in the smallest of nighttime acts
Waiting to be over turned
No one hand reaches out first
Afraid of pockmarks and deep things
