The Vipress
My scales are stars gleaming in the water.
My body is the river you cannot cross.
I am massive. I am the moon.
I will not shrink or shirk
away the love you made me fearful of.
I shed this skin you once peppered with adoration.
I’m perhaps larger, but more beautiful,
more powerful than before.
I am without you.
I am not fashioned of your rib, no, it’s
parthenogenesis; I birthed my own self.
I never needed you
or the silver words of deceitful lips.
I am the decider of destiny.
I am not afraid. I’m oiled with venom of my own.
I am God. I rule this life and you
cannot take my garden away from me.
