Serpent-Healer, Serpent-Stealer…

Whisper - s i n g s

Split the tongue between the  t e e t h

Tearing the  s e a m s

Of gnawing  w i s d o m

​

That forked the road unknown

Which I must follow

With hollow entrails - hollow  e y e s

And hallowed hope made out of  l i e s

I had to swallow

The poisons drip, when bit by bit

It flayed my truths  b a r e

And led me to its  l a i r

 

Praying in secret my keeper was…

And i must carry

It all with me

The faintest whispers of the sea beyond this crossroads

No one knows and no one dares 

To count . . .

​

How many times 

We’ve been here

With tired eyes and broken  t i e s 

Singing out of bleeding  r i b  c a g e s

Through and out

Beyond the   a g e s

 

Countless doubtless they are

Countless boundless they form

Beyond reflections unknown and yet…

 

Familiar

 

Resilient

 

And re-occurring

 

Until the certainty coagulates 

And the barriers   d  i

                           b    l   

                                     e       like ideas

 

Whose time is over.

 

Grieve. Recover.

Breathe. Uncover.
