black snake
Black Snake leads me down
Down into ground
Down into ground
I’m following her trail
Of winding scale
Of slither slow, deep down below
I’m following my instincts
Black Snake slither slow
Beneath the world I think I know
I shed it like a skin
I go within
I’m stripping back, back
Slither black snake to where I can begin
I flow like water seeking serpent way to low ground
Black Snake leads me down
Down into ground
Down into ground
Through memory and bone
Through root and stone
Leaves me alone
Deep down below
The life that I’ve been living
Black snake leads me down
Down into underground
Into underground
I’m swallowing my tail
Of spiral scale
I circle round, round
I spiral down
I’m ready now to start again start again start again start again
I move like water seeking serpent way to low ground
