Night serpent. Original poetry, day 41.
Hold off the dawn, hold back the sun
This hour mine alone,
Cease this rock's incessant turning
Beg morning to postpone.
The dark permits my existence
Daylight hijacks the lie,
Born serpent year hypsiglena
Transform under night sky.
The night it's so much simpler
Silence does not appose,
Day's buzz confronts my nothingness
All short fallings exposed.
Born year of snake my life slithered
Life cycle day or night,
Reptilian of solitude
Feared though I seldom bite.
Over the distant horizon
The sun it does emerge,
Recoiling at the sight of it
As day dwellers converge.
Their eyes upon me tell it plain
Regard me as vermin,
Survive day soaked in their venom
Til light to darkness turn.
Hold me now dawn does approach
Shield from the sun's harsh stare,
Clandestine truths unveiled by rays
Stripped stark under her glare.

I always had great compassion for Medusa. Why they just didn't leave her alone. Wonderful piece of poetry here, GBM:)

Night owl creature afraid of the solar rays that awaken the sensitivity of the senses, unaccustomed to such exposure. She feels depressed by the evident siege of the demands of life, each time with more pain and less strength, she surrenders to the survival of a short-range reptile. Strength, @girlbeforemirror.
Beautiful imagery and choice of word. I fell in love with the lines.
Awesome input @girlbeforemirror
So you are a snake in Chinese Astrology. Cool. Are you a wood, fire, water, metal, or earth snake?
