amphisbaena

in dark holes they coil
hiss, then enter the warm
to hunt, feast
on embryos and larvae
scurrying rodents -
monkeys of the trees
whose roots grow inward
convoluted
in the vagina of the mother
awaiting penetration
the offspring they produce
are capable of anything

I wish I had two heads some days, one that could think while the other one nursed a hangover......but seriously I like the mythical painting of limitless possibility.........

thanks saw. i'd like to work on it more - it's sort of like a sketch. i feel like i know what i'm aiming at but i'm not there yet. i'm working it out.

please, Dino, approach this creature very,very carefully while you work on it some more. Anything with 2 heads i'd be leary of it's motives.

Enjoyed, as usual.
