Ouroboros

Ouroboros

A Poem by Neville

Ouroboros



What is it with us


and how


much is it worth ..


And what


will it be the love


or the lust


that which, first


gives up the


proverbial ghost ..


And for


what purpose,


or reason ..


And pray where


upon this


oh’ so tainted,


sainted earth do


I begin


and you end,


my love of loves ..


I plan to eat


you regardless ..


Like Dali planned


once to


eat his love Gala


on toast ..


But not for some


obscure


symbolic reason ..


I just want


to be a perfect circle ..

Had to research this one, N. Seems there is a serpent called the rat snake that does consume itself. Sounds like a somewhat conflicted romance you've got going there. At any rate, don't pay any attention to Dali. He should have stuck to one of his soft watches. They're much more digestible than a lover.

Of course, the ending is perfect and yet not obvious.
A delicious poetic feast, sir.

Chasing your tail might have so many meanings but your is profound as well as somewhat romantic.
