Snake Medicine

 

Snake medicine is with us

We can pretend our skin is not shedding

We can attempt to remain underground

curled up and quaking

We can refuse to digest our life and

suffer indigestion

Or we can savor and swallow our life

Embrace the magic of our transmutation

Slither out of our old skin and

leap out of ruts with passion

Swirl into new experiences and dance

Then stretch out in the sun and dream
