Going to a Norse costume party dressed as Jörmungandr (the world serpent) disguised as a black cat (which Thor couldn't lift)

🎭 This Day in History – Sept 26, 1580
Sir Francis Drake finishes his circumnavigation of the globe — the first Englishman to sail the full spiral of the Earth.

But I imagine it like this:

Jörmungandr finished snaking his way around the world,
chasing his own tail back home —
and found that no comb
could compare to the curled
beginning he had waiting for him
in an English creek swim.

Because the Earth has no edge — only return.

According to Norse mythology, Angrboda was a giantess of Jötunheimr known as the Mother of Monsters. Her union with Loki produced the Midgard serpent Jörmungandr, the wolf Fenrir, and Hel, the queen of the underworld. #LegendaryWednesday
