God bless the hungry serpent
Fangs in my neck
That jungle wildness creeping
In my veins
God bless the hungry serpent
That brings darkness on its breath
A hissing inhalation
Rushing over my lips
God bless the hungry serpent
My body broken for you
Get drunk on my blood
Eat your fill
God, where are you now?
Under which leaf?
The serpent is tangible
Leave him be
God bless the hungry serpent
Slithering through my mind
His fangs may tear
But your silence destroys
And God, bless the hungry serpent
Let me feel him writhe
For though his tongue brings poison,
Your blood on my face
Purifies too slowly
