The Serpent People (Free verse) by horus8
I fold my mind in your lines mother,
and our people from before Noah
Atlantean, my ancestors, from the sea
Viracocha, remembered in legend;
As a teacher -- a white man of august
in cusma, and the shiny ones.
A bearded man, past his prime with staff
and love -- calling all, his sons and daughters
Later the Spanish would melt your temple
down, and kill all of your children from
Chile to North America. Oh what brave
men these deceptive mutts with priests
on horses, and gold guided noses.
Mother, the spider you drew...
How did you know its reproductive organs
were on that particular leg? Matched up to
the constellation Orion. It all points back to
his belt, but men are swine. Bent on staring
at the ground and soaking their paws in blood
Men are set in keeping us, here;
and we will all die forgetting.
At Machu Pichu, dreaming of giants, and
secret names of demons in the stone
Carvers of this earth and others. Animated by
Mercury in vapor engine -- Wand of Cadacus
Calling fire from the sky, and magnet from the
ground. Do you think they know of the
connection between the angels and the
dinosaurs like I have forced myself to find?
That monkey with mandala tail, and
Pythagorean leap bounding for
the mountains -- shooting for the sun.
