A snake pit
In bits and pieces
And phases and leases
You
Reveal its hem and hilt
Its frills and fancies
Soft folds and ( dark) peaks
Its wet crevices
Its secret passages
And honeyed recesses
Later late and wise
Deep deep down
Among shriveled folds
I realize
I am stuck
To wallow in this muck
Of creeping alleyways
And sapless recesses
