The Reptilian Part of the Female Brain
Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem
Because the birds are dinosaurs reduced
(No, not evolved), the pheasant’s head is like
A serpent’s, though more jewelled, as if produced
By Fabergé, enamelled, made to strike
Quetzalcoatl Deviant Art
With fangs, as beautiful as Satan in
The Tree of Good and Evil. With its claw
The length attacks an itch, like some small sin
That Eve would not have wanted lacking awe
Packed in that other snake between her man’s
Thick hairs. His jewels were of another kind,
Those dangling fruitlike edibles, the glans,
And shaft with venomed veins and flesh combined.
..The cock invites caress of spur that she
….Cannot imagine, but she feels its plea.
