I didn't see the diamond back
until his fangs were buried
in my left arm and the venom
was about to flow.
I grabbed him by the neck
right behind his head
and tried to pry him loose.
He let go of my left arm,
twisted his head around
to bite my right.
His fangs were just
piercing my skin when
I woke up. Trembling.
And I didn't know what
to make of this dream at first,
but then it dawned on me.
Get this poison out before it kills me.
And it isn't easy, I get out the left
and he resists, tries to get me
on the right. I ain't quit the fight.
