Dead SnakesA Poem by Kimberly Smith
I dreamed of dead snakes
Stepping over them with bare foot
With every snake deserved a look
Finally an outlet
As the fear set
A sloped dirty hill to climb down
To only find
It had no stepping stones
Hands blistering from the weight of my bodies fear
Now it’s clear
If I climb back up I have to face the snakes
And be brave, to get back to clear ground
Struggled back to top, over looked a rock
An Alligator blocks
Bumpy exterior and the tough shell he reveals
He doesn’t even know I was there, I sense
His eyes closed to the world, I should have surely slide down this hill
The pain of no escape plan makes me ill
Now realizing I’m not real skin and sky meet reality of abnormal beauty
So I wake up and thank god I was only dreaming
How dreams become reality in 2 minutes
You start thing about weird s**t like is my life a dream that I wake up out of
in the real s**t THAT I dream every night
Maybe are dreams are life
And this fake structured reality is passively the dream
That I keep avoiding
Raw thought and undefined emotions HIT
As I walked back to my dorm
There it is a dead snake right in dreaming form
I dreamed of dead snakes
Or
Did I?
