Tongue and Tooth

Vile, venomous viper
very agile in jarring juxtapositions
predators, and matadors
casting lots in caves of clay.

Juvenile existence
reminiscent of a road
where surgeons define virgins
with wanton words that sway.

Intolerable transitions
sever sweet serenity's song
yes, these doubts will create bouts
of confusion, classically.

Quite a curious cornucopia
this desert deliberately yields
recently said by an ugly head
grotesque, for all to see.

Meticulous mindsets click-ticking
waving wands within the wicked wind
time after time, a criminal mind
tightly tethers the truth;

only to see it slip, and slap
the cumulus clouds quite clear
our hearts trod, by a wink and a nod
betrayed by tongue and tooth.
