Serpent’s Tongue

winding road
wind and smoke
with a face no one knows
in this name
I distain
the cold mindless rain
to the dead
I spoke
through time and space
listen to the song
and let them sing

serpent’s tongue

forked and wise
the voice of God
we are lost to men
human beings,
transparent
and in this dream
I exist
like a stone
like the name
for all to see
heaven is my friend

serpent’s tongue
