*"A circle is a closed curve,
All points equidistant
from its center."*
Before our circles close and seal
their arcs,
What
leaks out into the frigid void?
What is ****** in like a
careless insect
Caught!
in a fly trap's eager mouth?
What clusters near the
center
warmed
by its radiant nucleus?
Who or what bangs on the
perimeter
Shouting
for entry or exodus?
Who is the guardian of
the gate?
What laws
have fealty over the geometry of
the psyche?
