Week 10 Post 1: year of the snake

your life being
a finite instance within
an infinite circle

How long can the ouroboros devour itself?
before it chokes and dies
being a divine snake
the choke is never-ending

within immortality it learns repetition
inescapable
it watches in horror
for it can know no end
beyond twisting tighter
and letting the jaw unhinge
to eat more
and more
of its own immortal flesh

for why would we want for nirvana
when the suffering that is life
is so delicious
