The New Snake

 

John Martin's Illustrations of Paradise Lost (1827) - Public Domain

The new snake,

pattern in sand

self-handles

writhes in jest

offering savor

bruised fruit

reborn

 

degraded pitch

smoke-signal-sway

horizon-dot-trail

 

granules go-live

scatter in fusion

regenerates

every

minute

or so

recoded

 

it goes

zeroes

remanded

hemmed-in

positions

adjudicate

released

 

backchanneling

it lives

on the inside
