Codependency

Aloof bivalve, two halves, one shell
Patchworked together
Compelled to repel, like magnets
Aquiline planes and angles
Fanned and trembling, coral heart obeys
Pearl deer, sleeping in a glade
Frilled sea creature, deadly fronds trail
Pale self protects
Snake swallowing the world
Third eye sparkles open
We make monsters in shadow.
