Out of the blackness
Milky-white eminence rises
Omphalos umbilus of the world
Dripping venom and solace
In equal doses
Is not creation myth
Of sunrise or moondance
Erotic charge of being
Connection of ether
Asserted from nothing
Uncoiled sss thick body
Glowing colour grey
Black edged scales
Vast hood of metallic
Green lozenge flanked
By blind yellow flash
Out of the blackness
The milky rainbowed cobra
Source of destruction
Of chaos of growth
