Partly inspired by a documentary about anacondas on the Animal Planet a couple of nights ago, though not exactly about them. Sometimes my alter ego sneaks out and writes something Photo:sodahead.com

I see them glowing Across the dimly lit room I should know better Than to lock eyes with you Mistress of the darkness Temptress incarnate Eyelashes dance in slow motion Resistance neutralized Green irises become the night sky As you slink ever closer Nape hairs rise in anticipation As the squeeze begins Silence except The soft ringing in my ears Rib motion synchronous Labored Constrictions intensify Silence broken Giddy now There is little comfort knowing My last breath belongs to you Copyright 2012 Patrick Granfors

Reading this, before I read or noticed your preface, I thought that your slinky, rib constricting moments to be the sum of a torrid sexual interlude. As usual, great wording, my friend.

Scary and fascinating at the same time. Snakes must hypnotize.
