“Pillow Talk Hiss”

Tyler R. Martin

I get
A look from you of love
From your bottomless
Abyss.
With ice behind your eyes.
I know you were pissed….
And just barely letting on.
Its chilling, baby,
Chills the bones under
My skin.
My heart begins to race,
Palms sweating,
You and your
Reptile smile,
Pillow talking hiss.
You know, a snake will bite you
And tell you it’s a kiss.
