I found the serpent

The smoke of
deceit levitates over
our heads,
pall, black-  blinding
the sun.

Smithereens of
the past lie on
the floor,
frore, cracked-   goring
our burns.

Unearth the hachet, bury
the olive
hunt for the tortoise that captured
the Lion
Eat, sleep
sleep, deep-

I found the serpent
that swallowed my egg.
