Close your eyes
…see the snake.
See the serpent appear?
That is ten feet long and five feet wide.
He has one red eye and one green eye.
He’s seven miles long. Deadly.
See it?
All the history of the world is on his scales.
All the people,
all the actions—we’re all just little pictures on his scales.
God, he’s big.
He’s moving.
Devouring consciousness…digesting power.
Monster of energy. It’s a monster.
Kiss the snake on the tongue.

Kiss

the

snake.

But if it senses fear,
it will eat us instantly.
But if we kiss it without fear, it will take us through the garden,
through the gate to the other side.

Ride
the
snake—to the other side.
