kiss the snail

hotchk155

someones coming for ya
slipping over the tiles
they’re looking right up at ya
with their stalky little eyes

little stomach footed thing
making a beeline for ya
winding a silvery trail
by the light of the moon

kiss the snail
you know that you want to
kiss the snail
nobody needs to know
kiss the snail
you know if makes sense
kiss the snail
its what you should do

someones got their eyes on you
is that two or four? i’ve never been certain
skimming the floor at breakneck speed - for a gastropod
cold heart skipping, skippety skip

reach on down, thats right
take a gentle hold and pluck
cradled in your palm
a slimy little bundle of love
