Measuring Valentine

I woke up picturing
a white and yellow-striped
boa constrictor stretched
out beside me in the bed
something I had read
falling asleep last night
resumed at once on waking
taking the measure of me
the ouroboros snake
who swallows his tail
who eats his shadow
who returns to the beginning
having dreamed all of himself
