Oracle

The ORACLE foretells visions & truths. Will you look into the fire?
They said the Shaman woke up in the deep night
and fed bones to the ashes of the fire.
The first bone into a snake it grew,
the second turned in myriad legs and endless spine.
The third, dripping with poison, a scorpion had become.
'Doom! Sacrifice your precious!' she uttered, and back into the dream was gone.
