Coiling





Coiling Uncoiling

From my solar plexus

I gave birth to snakes

which went out into the world innocently.



Our eyes are dense.


Coiling, coming back again

and taking root are plain as day.



From my solar plexus,

bright finned fish swim out together

in a pattern like a fire



Everything is random



except my anger,

my teeth,

scattered in the coarse

skins of my enemies,

turn up centuries later,

collected and analyzed.




From my solar plexus,

a mutant form of my ancestors

slithers, grows feathers,

jumps to an untimely death.




I am left vacant but not alone.



From my solar plexus

knotted fiber braids

reach toward source light slowly.
