Swallowed tails,
Spiralling, spiralling, spiralling down
Into the inky depths of the deep sea,
A sky dotted with light.

Eternal serpent,
Eternal heart,
Living in the sky,
The clouds, the stars.
Ouroborus aurora borealis,
Spinning greens and reds and blues
A snake with gleaming scales
In all holy, heavenly hues
Ouroborus aurora borealis,
I’m sorry you’ll never live,
Just circle into a sinking sky,
And die on the horizon,
Guts full of selfish greed.
An infinite ouroboros
Of shiny, selfish scales
Pleading for the chorus
Of endless, swallowed tails
To exit his esophagus,
Make songs far beyond Orpheus
And sit forever, stars as dust
In the hall of constellations.
When will I wake up?
