Running Around CirclesA Poem by Cole Hayleythe world is splitting open at my feet, part four.Running Around Circles Her synchronicity lies in the practical. The grocery shopping, the school work. It all lies on a straight line, far away from the bell-curve. I don't question her. But I want to love it, Im but a shrew to her "planned-evenings" and priorities. ( She hides her stripes. But she sleeps stretched, in a lioness cast. ) Derived without a faux-judgement she knows every word: - Protozoa - Amoeba - Euglena - Ecoli - Paramecium - Volvox. However She sometimes forgets my
birthday. The gyre is winding down, this circle-running has a receptive nature. My dear. Boredom is a number, you recite it in night-sleep. Tiresome, and dismounted. A severed bias, for your grocery shopping. The school work. Our window pane boasts the truthful fears. The admission of guilt, a frailty so inclosed. Blossoms on the highest esker. You dream of the most amazing things. It kills to realize, they never seep through that alloy casting you enamel. Your beautiful voice and delicate being. I've dreamed forever of faraway sparklers. A stone bridge, a nervous endeavour: brushing the hair out of your eyes. Clever words. The eraser is cutting deep, a sleepy prominence. For us, we know the plastic that covers our words. The voiceless momentum that brought us along this rocky cliff. Life is decomposing, we are aging. The future is brittle, so let us go forth being cautionary and gentle. Steep into paradoxical sleep. Close your eyes we will tumble down to the ocean. © 2012 Cole HayleyAuthor's Note
