It comes on its belly with glowing eyes, and it serves an unclean pain. Can your words be alluding to the snake from Adam and Eve's garden? It returns to us when least expected.
Wonderful! Human beings are experts at moving past pain to survival, however, it only takes a split second to bring back uncomfortable memories once locked away in the chambers of one's heart. It can be a smell, a touch... a pain...
Yes, very spooky and familiar!
Wishing you an abundance of creativity, sweet Poet!
Kind of a foggy tale that is full of wonder. I'm still wondering but in case you did not see it. I would recommend the movie, "I Can Only Imagine" while it's still in the theatre. It's the best one I have seen in over 10 years. Love, Blessings, and Cheers!
You stand ready with sword to drive this slimy bellied monster back to the marsh where it belongs. Might I venture an allegory for a recurring illness like hepatitis C? Shingles?
Indeed as Odin said, the mystery prevails although the scene is set by that "living marsh". I'll take the desert any day. At least, it's dry even if it has its own phantoms.
A huge departure from your usual choice of subject matter and a good departure it is. Mystery prevails. One is struck with not really knowing the first person narrative's identity or the threat. For me, the threat could be a man, a snake, a primordial fear, et al. Well done. Thoroughly enjoyed the word play and especially the last line which suspends our wondering even further.
