The circle

sorenbarrett

 

Ouroboros of love and hate doesn't know what it ate
Fangs of venom at one end the other a siren tail does bend
A twisted circle becomes an eight writhing to consummate
Reclined infinity the masculine devouring femininity

  • Comment from author about the poem: Ouroboros an ancient symbol first seen in Egyptian art as a snake in a circle swallowing its tail. It represents the beginning and end of time. It represents duality the yin and yang and the philosopher's stone.
