kleptotherm 2 lyrics
by June Henry
Slither into my den
I’m grateful for the company
You wrap yourself around me
A gift to be held so tightly
You marvel at my warmth
Say you wish it could be yours
I’m flattered you want to be
Anything like me
Maybe it's something I can teach
Or maybe just give you a piece
I've got plenty to spare
I always feel there is too much of me
I always feel there is too much of me
Winter rolls above the burrow
And I am feeling cold but you smile
Say that all that's wrong is you’re hungry for more
Than the roots I procure
And you leave the hatch ajar
As you leave to feed
Less body, more thrill
The rush you get from the kill
And I realize soon
Loving you will be the end of me
