Origin of Snake
by Nina Pommelin
Syöjätär on the water spat, let drop the slaver on the waves.
Wind rocked it to and fro, the swell of the sea kept swaying it on the hollow waves.
The water stretched it out in length, air twisted it into a “spinning staff”.
A wind then wafted it ashore, the water drew it to a cape, a current flung it on a rock.
Wind blew it hard, a chill wind dried it up, sun baked it into a spiral form,
in the cliff’s cave upon the beach, at the side of the speckled stone, in the bosom of an evil stone.
Hiisi gave life to it, by spells Piru gave it eyes, the jawbones Lempo formed, the wretch brought together the teeth.
Hence birth was given to the snake, a name was given to the bane.
