Lanterns-Lit Year Of The Snake Poem by William He

Lanterns-Lit Year of the Snake
By William He

The emerald scales of starlit glow,
Somewhere, the snakes stir in the earth,
Their dreams unspooling like smoke.
To know what we do not,
Each flame a flickering tongue,
A spiral that unwinds into the night,
Tasting the dark for secrets now.
Photons hiss across the cold ground,
Leaving behind a brittle trail of Serpens,
This year sheds its skin.
Something that knows the quality of silence,
Black hole gravitational field,
The lamps float and whisper.

Mundane and magic intertwine, and thought sought.
Electromagnetic waves like soul unbound,
Time bouncing lightly, wild and free.
Each lantern holds a secret song,
Cascade through the air, a gentle sound,
The rattlesnakes are coiling in the green lights,
A guardian of dreams, both day and night.
In the shy where Rice Balls rolling,
The spirits are mending,
Through surreal realms where reality bends,
To the heartbeat of night,
The shadows twist and dreams comply,
Of bygone days where echoes throng.

解连环 蛇年元夕
作者：何威廉

蝘蜒光泻。
有青虬眨眼，
影投云野。
瀚海宽、
灯谜浮游，
见蠕动蛇群，
究寻幽夜。
疑落星芒，
皆变作、
舌灵光射。
入玄机秘处，
黑洞中迷，
细语轻话。

烟花慢悠抒写。
况犀燃烛照，
吟情谁舍，
恰穿行、
纹线交加，
看翠甲加身，
待机而化。
滚动汤圆，
想在等、
时程升卦。
人凝眸、
旧年悄逝，
未尝拜谢。
