This poem explores snakes and divine femininity. The snake is said to represent feminine energy (Kundalini, S curves, seduction), and is often demonized (dishonest, spineless, Slytherin). I don't think it's a coincidence. She fans out her pain,
And displays herself bare, baring chipped but thirsty fangs And dry but alive hair. She channels hopelessness Into a current of rage. Determined to please no-one She pleads with the rain, For a lending hand Or a flash of lightning, A rumble of thunder To signal change is coming. In the morning, She’ll wash down the blood with nectar Wrung out from depths of the ocean Purified with Snake venom. As sweet revenge trickles down her forked tongue, A pure release slithers up her spine. The time for the divine feminine has come to rise - unshackled and revived. For the first time, She’ll soften her stride, & don fresh white. Not to hide her body, But take in the beauty Blooming around the world For once. -Samirah Shri
