(Snake was a symbol of the goddess before she was demonised, also from nod, i learnt the druids were also called snakes, which is why it’s said, St patrick destroyed them in Ireland)
In my garden-world, solitary world, pensive of another,
To linger long-struck, roving on romance’s verge, an eternal
Plunge, the serpent and doe, drawn to each other,
A mustard seed, not knowing its palm: then you bounding,
Come Knowing:) among wilds of people, who spin away,
Infinite cities, suburbia, shapes people harness, in
Logical regress: me, damned in paradise, you: stem from them,
I think: you people the landscape: a dance party, in you
Reveal myself, and dance in empty places, with you belong,
My muse, become enloved, ensouled, in space of your form,
I ask you to come, with ease you move toward:) my tree,
You: said something elusive, bounded away, to rescue me
From my lonely grave? love timid, like a doe, yet sure of itself:
You wonder who I am: I am but a seed plucked from a garden
Held in your palm: a wise snake I am, to obey you: in my guise
Human, goddess, or mornings contemplation: devilish charm
