snake-

I dreamed I was a concubine
dancing veils and pouring wine
I dreamed I was a porcupine
clawed feet and prickling spines

I dreamed I was a twining vine
bloodied thorns and flowers divine
I dreamed I was a fatted swine
fed fettid things on which to dine

But these are dreams
from which I wake
cold with sweat
I tremble and quake

My head I shake
my bed I make
my leave I take
.... my mind is such a snake
