The white serpent

coiled itself
in parallelism
and defiance to
the murky curves
of the flowing river

his plans hijacked
by the lad in
saffron loin
while wails
the saffron clad lady

unbeknownst to
the hero and
anti-hero with
of course
the lady
man and fish
continue their
existential fight
the land turns green
waters too comply
