The Serpent’s Head

Rises in the black velvety sky,
Behind the black smokers  rising
Like fingers enveloping  the
            new born
Stars coming from the serpent’s
            mouth.
Shiny hot blue stars  glow,
Shaft of light beams from the

            New born stars.

  Billowing clouds of vaporous
  Gases, flow through the
Serpent’s throat;
Stars entangled pass  through it.
