Seized the snake's tail, He reared, swarming his slit, Cobra hood swelling fields, Maddened movie monster swiping trees, Raging boa wrapping the valley's spine, Forcing houses, sheep, people Down-gullet, Spreading bloated beast's carcass, Headwaters dove downstream, Venomous bite piercing towns crowding his lair Leaving soggy digested bodies, Muddied dripping belly juice, Spiteful Shenandoah snake saliva.

The dead in the flood.
