The Snake

You recounted the

Snakebites of love,

The rivulet that flows

Through the veins,

Diffusing blue into blood,

The white angels of heaven

Who longed to embrace darkness.

Birds that take wings

To the frozen hills of death

Sang the last hymn to God,

The little rainbow

Went missing in the Ocean,

There began the flood

And we began searching for our blood.

When the earth splits into two

We would bloom in love,

You dreamed

A lone tree in the wasteland

The unborn chick that

Drives its bill

Through the shell

To the wide universe

Then on and on you

Swam in the little ponds

Of forgotten times.

Rowing down the

Spectrum of memories

A lone star glittered in your eyes

In the stillness of time

You hatched forgetfulness.

Through the darkness

Of your slumber

A little snake crept

In search of deserts.
