Camouflaged - or do you feel me
creeping up without a ripple
stealth and armor hidden
a cold reptile in cold water
Prey for me
don’t think you’re a delicacy
I’ll rip and swallow parts
that I disregard whole
then your warmth will dissipate
My habitat you invade
disregarding rules of nature
enjoy the view
before your eyeballs pop out
