Serpent Recoil

Serpent monolith
Exhaling cipher
Of millennial doubt

Carved in soil
Erect in myth
Memory
Of soul
Of blood
Before, and again

Reborn
Radiant prismatic
While atoms radiate
Decomposition
Of timeless space

In flesh
Through cipher
By fire

Breathe life
Where none is found

Nothing
Reflects somethingness
Through millennia
Of monolithic
Memory
