Once again, I am not only alive; But newborn-alive. Antoine de-Saint Exupery tried to tell us That besides having the solution to every riddle, Snakes can also teach us That we have always been the better creatures For we shed our insides, The only touchable things our souls produce; Instead of our outsides, And they come out of our only way in To another soul, And everytime they do, We run after our breaths Like the first time we learned We actually need it. We will really always meet ourselves here, In this middle darkness where we first saw light And made that womb-to-tomb pact of companionship With what we came with to this world, The same thing we'd leave with Or leave because of, And leave behind to cause a whole lot more Shedding of insides When we finally go the only way, Which, all along, Is back...
