poisoned light

nest of vipers around golden egg

dark bodies slithering through

black, moonless night

the scarred land is victim

to the venom coursing through

earth's unquenched veins

poison a pool around the heart

of one light that remains

the egg may be beauty now

but just wait for the shadows

to crack that fragile shell

so, whoever sits within, don't

grow curious of the world outside,

for, the gold in a nest of vipers

is poisoned light
