Rattlesnake
Stealth reptile, scaly skinned viper,
Flickers fork tongue to smell direction:
Slithering through the environment,
Camouflaged to avoid detection.
Snake eyes focus without tail rattling,
Coiling into strike kill position.
Slowly, jaws separate; fangs exposing
Venom delivery of neurotoxins.
The gloom and doom shadow looms frightening,
Mesmerizing, the serpent unleashing.
The rodent stilled, listening for hissing,
Delaying reaction and is bitten.

neurotoxins devour your nervous system as you slip under the waves of paralysis, an incision made from throat to pelvic bone as i proceed in analysis, iv'e been using a scalpel for so long my hands covered in calluses. i am losing my mind yet i can hear every thought, induced chemicals stop the circulation like a growing blood clot, you think we're so different but maybe we're not, after all when we die everyones flesh will rot. spraying amonia everywhere to neutralize my DNA, flee the murder scene with a clean getaway, my words and murders will be remembered in history, you'll be forgotten and your disappearance will become an unsolved mystery.
