Shame.

Discovering how shame has been insidiously nesting so closely to the heart had made it difficult to spot.

It lays low
unnoticeably close
a second skin

The boa hissed,  "Whenever those moths, 
nipping at the Light, become too much, 
I'll give you a little squeeze...to keep you warm, to keep you safe."  

It sounded like a good plan at the time.

I had gotten a really good look at it in the sun
it's glistening scales
wrapped 'round my shoulder, neck, and heart.

a constant companion

Navigating through the lense of shame
is like using the valley's echoes and howls to find true north
