metamorphosis
ı have flown on ships in the sky
swam in seas of by-gone times
lived in dark tunnels
and strolled on the backs of rats
ı dressed in stark black then
blood seeped from my smiles
ı made love with snakes
my nails a scorpion each
used to spit razor blades
bats took off from my eyes when ı gazed
a nest for owls my hair
the screech of vultures my laugh
and then, you know, ı saw you
ı got down from the backs of rats
ıt was a dolphin brought me here
ı laughed and made roses for you
stars sparkled from my gaze
ı took all my clothes off
the scorpions fled, the bats flew away
then suddenly what should ı see
a snake was nesting in your bosom also
