Vipera Berus

Vipera Berus

As friend and foe,
sidewinding spinster,
you crept into my bed.
 
I should have known,
Vipera Berus,
that soon you would need fed.
 
Snake charmer, 
with your song of disarmour
You latched unto my skin.
 
Merry Medusa,
molt your hide and
show your mortal sin.

Satan serpent
harbour incarnate.
I saw this in a dream.

Saltwater Snake
Wading impatient
afore luring me downstream.
