Venomous Seed

You slither like a viper into my shade

gorging voraciously, devouring my core

imprisoning with your gluttonous greed.

Eating away at my world by inches

your serpent indulgence rapacious

you won’t stop until you’ve consumed me

swallowed me whole, a lump in your gut.

Your vile undulating was not invited -

why steal the shoes of my existence?

Slinking snake-like to poison my identity

corkscrewing my reality with entangled nape

subjugated by greed of your venomous seed

lurking in grass to sink fangs into my soul.
