Snakes and Latches

Keys to doors,
Keys to chests.
Locks to treasure,
Locks to rest.

A silver latch
or a fine image to match.

Whatever it may be
using a keypad
fingers,
eyes or me.

Keys exist for a purpose
which, you may not know.
Poke and prod
and the snake may grow.

But agitated for too long
it will become uncurbed.
And whatever may be held
should never be disturbed.
