Snail, snail
Come out from your shell
Where, oh where
Does your head hide?
Reveal your horns
Reveal your spears
Reveal your head

Oh, swelling rage!
On whom shall I retaliate now that my lover is in the arms of another?
Or shall my body turn to mere detritus
Here on the river's floor?
As I approach
The water's edge
My image reflected
On the still surface
Has become
That of a great serpent
