how sweetly she must hiss at me
my diamond death
I never meant to harm her day
she caught my breath
as I walked in green serene
in blessed ignorance
her gentle warning rattling
said her fangs were meant for me
for death is a woman
her coiling built for striking
gingerly I keep my distance
from beauty such as hers
as I bid her farewell
enjoy your sunlight
my love my death my dream
my sweetest of sweet poison
