Circumference Dissected by the Diameter

psychic fracture
one foot mired in fugue
the mind myriad and partitioned
                     the circumference
dissected by the diameter

aren't you clever

figure, fugue, and figure
mad mathematician
pi split by anything
can be divided eternally

time to do nothing

instead hobble about
                     one foot
in diamond-studded cement
your head in coal black clouds
determine to change the world
viewed through your dirty spy lens

deeply perturbed
through pursed lips
                you protest
armed with evidential parchment
a rotting tome of detritus
a worm-holed record of the past
scientifically supported
                doomsday promises

act, figure, fugue, and act

a runaway greenhouse
now simmering in your blood
                     escape the heat
visit sites of ancient destruction
salvage anthropological feats
of the ancestors
                  of those you fight

entourage in tow
streams of pilgrims
bustling through the crowds
take a colonnaded walk
through arched porticoes
              imagined gardens
of rubbled precincts





IMG_0751 1.jpg



time to spring clean
the house of life

shut out insistence
bathe in the furious din
of squabbling gulls
and quayside mongers

the key
think nothing
allow

sit
restful in the folds
of your saffron robe
nap under a shady tree
visit the new palace
before walls manifest

I have dissected the words a hundred different ways and decided to take it home with me and take the whole thing apart.

I am fascinated by it.

I cannot help it. Her words are so brilliantly placed and work well together, and yet, they each stand alone.

Words of wisdom woman!!!

the key
think nothing
allow

Wondrous language, all of this. I tend to apply a lot of things to my primary concern right now, which is the degradation of what we know of as society, what we think of as normal. I got a sense of sinking in quicksand when I read your poem, which is quite a bit like how I feel about what is happening politically to the regular people now.
Then came the key, and I knew one answer for my pain.
Excellent poem, really really great.

Thank you, Owasco.

Yes, it hard to watch all the turmoil and division without losing one's center at times. I think now more than ever achieving harmony within one's self is paramount and then the way we things will shift just enough.
