Obscured, ethereal, unbeknownst serpent

linger in the light of day, secrets behind veil

something - always - strange

I - can feel its presence

watch - as the skin

melts - before my eyes

changing

shape to shape

hidden in this human form

aberration

far too long

waiting for my mind to slip...

I slip

Cloudy, shrouded, darkened memory

cannot tell what’s real or not, I know what I’ve seen
