                                                I Am Drawn in Circles

 

 

 

I am drawn in circles,
                       swept undercurrents of water lilies
left my feet to drift away from the rock planet
                                                risking amniotic space.
Going back to the shift-spun beginnings
                                        the lust of teeth and knives
            cracked the dawn.

The thunder-jolt of early morning.
A wasteland and fucked.

          My brother learned to catch blue-bellies
                                          frozen in the sun under geraniums.
It was well over 100 degrees of heat or more than 360.
     There was no one else to argue with.
                              I was kicked once by a roommate.
                  
A bowl of oranges rolled over.
                      Dogs chased their own tails.
                                    Bottles were smashed on the pavement.
  Broadcasts continued over  the airwaves.

I lost my silver ring.
                                        The planet kept turning
rotating in space through alien showers.
    The secret messages could not be deciphered.
   A giant hang-yellow sky full of sun.
                  
                         Blue was misplaced and forgotten.
    At
noon a siren cried out from somewhere.
