Snakes on the Stairs

by Alison McKenzie

Writhing in airs of glory
Imminent strike of fanged gavel
Caution called with every step.
Move along.
This isn’t your house anyway.
Attics full of folly.
It’s hailing snakes
Where none abide.
I just want to wake up.
Someone shake me,
Bring me back.

Author's Note: Another poem written out of some nebulous place in my head, not related to anything based in my real life. I don't get it, but there it is.

writing poems i didn't understand was always one of my favourite things. don't seem to do it any more, sadly. glad you're keeping it up.
