In the field, there sat a girl with desires in her heart and dreams in her eyes.

the first youthful breeze
sunbathed terraced fields
I am blooming
my roots seek valleys
beyond these mountain peaks

After some time, she heard a rustle among the beans. A small albino snake emerged. The girl scrambled to her feet. As she looked down, the snake raised up and bowed her head. She explained that she had come from far away and was looking to eat and rest.

calm moonlit sea
divine mountain sunrise
escaping my fate
in a land so vast and grand
can I change who I am

The girl felt a kinship with the snake and gave it some food. Plus, good fortune follows those who befriend white snakes, she thought. In return for her generosity, the snake promised to show her a beautiful endless flower garden, and all she needed was to close her eyes. As her eyelids closed, she felt a light pinch that quickly faded.

the loving sun
earthly floral rainbow
honey dipped dream
an unnatural beauty
can seduce and devour

In the garden, the girl danced among colors and smells beyond her senses. Soon, a boy her age approached. He was her ideal. This was her perfect moment. At least for carnal desires.

An amorous sun
caresses thorny delights
my eyes capture him
I am the predator
yet my prey brings me pain

Outside the dream, the girl lied in the field. A human snakeskin draped across her body. Her glassy eyes blind to the pure blue sky. The only life to be found was in her quivering smile.

In the garden
a fragrant flower blooms
your dreams are mine
petals owe the wind
I travel against it
