Snakes Into the Atmosphere

I’ve been throwing snakes
Into the atmosphere.
Venom in rain.
Caution in hail.

Monster in waves.
Storm in scales.

I am the mouth that
Poisons the proud.
Boasting in nothing.
Sleeping in clouds.

I determine my truth
When you only allow.
I only puncture the sun
To dry my frown.

When will you live again
In my dreams one night?

Only then will I
Cage the serpents
But only till light.

I will keep them grounded
Just for your truth.

Because
In your tears
You believe in me.
