mutation

I grew something for you,
even though I tried everything I could think of to kill it.

From the frictionless round of me,
came the product of your asphyxiating embrace.
Behold, serpent, your son
with the doublesharp smile.

Is your surprise because you see him coiled, ready to strike,
or because he has your eyes?
