Ouroboros

Demons in the head
too many to slay
Divinity eclipsed
no motion, no way.

I jump from one circle to another
deepening the rut
dragging my feet.

And then, a day is born
a crevice appears
a womb, torn.

The vacuum fills me
existence recoils
I turn over, foetal
And the seed is fed back to the soil.

Such is death before death,
such is life after life.
