The Twilight

The cool stink of twilight,
Fresh rain.
The palace gates open wide.
The queen is dressed golden
Shoes sparkling
Lips too.

The fiery nervous taste
Like nectarine.
Not quite as sticky�
Yet.
Getting slower,
The heard of turtles.

Sweaty like a lover�s bed
Cooled by an outside breeze,
Suddenly open doors.
Sink into an abyss of extacy.
Shroud yourself in its darkness.
Eat from its dark, silent womb.

The snake�s eye gleams
At the hole in the fence.
Lost in senseless nothingness.
Blurred vision and tongue�
No sight,
No taste.

Caverned, no escape
From the sticky embrace of a blissful night.
