She drifts off to sleep,
Hopeful for a dreamless rest.
But instead she finds,
Her forbidden animal.
He lurks around,
With his scaly body.
Slithering slowly,
Around her feet.
He wears a smile,
For he knows he has won.
Slowly he goes,
Up and around her.
Working his way,
Up her body.
Tighting his hold,
Constricting her moves.
Soon they become,
Face to face.
He opens his mouth,
Fliking his tongue.
In a moments thought,
Only darkness remains.
