I Am A Snake

i have taken lessons from snakes and learnt wisdom to morph from an old wearied woman to a fine spinster everybody would turn their heads as i beat out a dance slithering my way to their hearts without even their knowledge i have taken lessons in life from the snakes the devil reincarnated though all the fraggled parts of my life the wrinkled skin of my soul i follow the snake as it morphs from old to young and young to old and old to young again living a hundred years parting the old self for the new every now and then all my sorrows now you see them in the shedded skin along the downtrodden paths nobody cares to take a look i never, you should not too
