Ouroboros*

Time is circular.

Or so you’d think if you listened to what my mother says, the various iterations of a conversation slipping through the cracks of her memory, reused and recycled ad infinitum.

Memory does not persist.

Instead, the allure of rebirth too enticing, it devours its own tail.

*An Ouroboros is an ancient symbol of a snake or dragon eating its own tail.
