Snake to Woman
by Jan Ackerson
Go
ahead--it's tasty--
Feel its juices on your chin:
Eat.
This fig--you like it?
Here's another one.
Again.
Don't you love the sweetness?
Sure, it's sticky--we don't care.
More.
Don't think--enjoy it.
If you want to, you can
Share.
Just don't look inside, girl.
Some things you don't need to know.
Hey!
...Yes, that's a wasp there.
Just ignore it. Let it
Go...
Come--eat your fill. There's plenty;
Just as juicy, just as sweet.
Mine.
My dear, you're mine now:
Such a tasty little
Treat.
