Literature Text

hungry for the hunt
like sawtooth eels slithering
soft across shadowed sand
you paint yourself electric
spilling secrets off the sparks
of your rod-round tail
in sizzling whispers,
silk on bare skin--

while i, 
close-mouthed and close to the surface
of a sea sashaying sass and salt,
tuck my flashy scales away
like titan's treasure trove
deep in the anemone
where your probing tongue can't reach.

No capitals on this one because capitals make this piece....different.

A little bit of honesty, a LOT of word play, and some ocean imagery for you lovely people today.

I like how you've personified different types of people into sea creatures. Plus all that alliteration! And of course your always-beautiful imagery. :)
