it writhes against itself

there is no enemy

all the world -

the great disasters, a storm sent from sea

the pleasantries, a sweet flower in bloom

- they are all its works

a panicked movement

twisting and untying

pulsing like a heart deep within the earth

its scales no longer hiss along each other

they are rubbed raw from ages of fruitless battle

in the pure silence

its whispers creep into the minds of many

when does it end

sleep and be at peace

know not the curse of immortal prison

you do not want to be a god.
