the enormous snake moved slowly and steadily across the landscape
metallic and smooth, a silver train
holding possibilities like passengers
unconcerned with it's destination
it had no beginning or end, like most mythical snakes
all is well, was the message to my mind
you are on track

the only wishes that come true
are those ladled from the heart of God

there was a beautiful woman who loved him once
but he could not look her in the eye

after a long time staring at the ground
he got up the nerve to say


goodbye

most of my steps forward
feel like steps back

fate won't let you cast away your burdens until you bathe in them fully
