Black Waters

Soundless, black seas,

out of which all cold comes,

suspends serpents

in what would be mid-air

if the water weren't there.

 

Souless, dark thoughts,

out of which all evil comes,

holds horrors

in what would be paradise

if my mind weren't there.

 

I think to the nature of my thoughts

and then to the origins of man.

Out of black waters

come dark thoughts;

slithering serpents

now roaming the land.
