Serpents Delve

I build things and then destroy them
There are no endings
Only a serpent spinning

Is there a light at the end of the tunnel
I can not
Will not 
Long for it
Darkness encircles me
Darkness is me

Melting into a cave of quiet
My slick limbs smeared onto walls of stone
This heart beats toward the slithering gold
That pulls and taunts me toward its luster
