Snake Bite Sonnet- Max Phillips


A lash of brightness catches you off guard
in childhood. It completes you. You change size
in dreams of smelly water, catch your eyes
impersonating something bright and hard
as sun and moon wear hot grooves in the sky
and you lurch toward conclusion. Here your strange,
illumined limbs betray you. You must change
unrestingly now. You, swollen and sly
must welcome turmoil as a central friend
who plies her fangs of difference through your heart.
And now you're anyone's to take apart.
And noe you're anyone's to find and mend.
You will not understand, but will endure,
snakebite, and never dreaming of a cure

Time can bring you down but the hero in the man walks on. armed with nothing but his/her own vision. men of unborrowed vision walk on. They fight, they suffer and they pay the price. But importantly they win. There is a hero in each one of us. We just need to intropsect and explore it.
Snakes will disappear. Tender spring will bloom , heh
