Sunset... shadow of set

Not in the desert—but beneath your breast,
Coiled like a serpent, coiled to rest.
It swallowed not the sun—your heart instead,
And whispers: "Forget. You are dead to this bed."

I scream at it: "Give it back to me!"
It answers—"Too late. Can't you see?
The more you fear, the thicker I grow,
And your fire is ash—long, long ago."
