The serpent is the craftiest of all God's creatures.
He slumbers easily in the cavern of the heart,
the rythm of life rocking him steadily asleep.
Until the beat quickens, and his eyes are opened,
and his hunger awakens.
Teeth sink deep into the soft warm flesh,
refusing to let go, feeding on the past.
Gently constricting his prey, pressing out reality,
he lures back to the time when the feast was intense
and emotion and blood ran quick.
Numbed by the venom, the prey rushes onward
seeking the thing that once gave it life.
Until the rush ends, the serpent is satisfied,
and the feeling returns to a drained, empty soul.
The serpent is the craftiest of all God's creatures.

I'm pro-life. That includes post-womb.
