SNAKE

Timeless is the serpent visage
Devoured of its own tail
Inwardly it invests
Deeply its own viscera
While we flail
At the ignominious end
Of our own time
Eternity devours nothing
But dreams
But lives
And consumes nothing
But sleep
But the earth and skies
Destroying everything of matter
For the truth of the why
We beg for knowledge
Rejecting all wisdom
We detest the truth
While demanding proof
There is nothing but
The eternal and matter
Coexisting in infinity
While we beg for the key
To knowing what
When the answer
To the question why
Is that which would allow
Being free
Instead of the gnawing cancers
Of screaming at the sky
