The Insect hums
Snake eats Man
Lifeless eyes stay watching
From the walls
They wait their turn
For a willing victim
The Insect bites
Snake has eyes
Man births in agony
His eyes shut
He breathes hard
Snake breathes with him
The Insect stops
Snake and Man
The artist is smiling

Wow that was some conundrum, If you had not given the explanation, I would have thought it is a very Biblical and dark poem. -
i love this, its funny, when i got my tat, the guy in the other chair was getting a cobra done, and the needle felt like a bug was walking across my skin...this is great, you capture the experience wonderfully....keep writing

This is very strange. I really have absolutley no clue what you are trying to say. Good work, though.
