What ugly? Told the God the little frog 

and bowing. Told the designs of Saturn

 

infinite space and breaking aether. Ruin 

too oblivious, too simple where there's

 

the alternative of explaining each high 

sophistication in the mellow unraveling.

 

Aware that the planets look circled due 

to our own limited sense. Asked the God

 

by the man who had wanting. Two because 

more felt selfish. Ugly the judgement

 

of those with ideas. Brains to maneuver 

in dimensions not to undo them. Love,

 

what a reduction. A statue of a princess bust 

hiding her arms and mistaken for virtue.

 

In this iteration of knowing: holes 

so attractive all far forms bend

 

without conscience. Aren't I so gravity?

Slow, time becomes organic and I am

 

amphibian and brass and also never. 

Out in the weather I go verdigris green.

 

When there's no romance, there's still 

equation. When is a flawed questionword 

 

supposing a touchable order; Why 

demands thought in the math. Don't ask

 

at all, small water-creature. Be mud, 

and climbing up. Be clay, pretty for desire.

Circle Theory

 

Something in the mind what doesn't 

Prove a circle, a regret

​

For concrete things. All of our sad 

methods of guesses. Early on

​

We gathered facts. Laid on our backs 

And saw things and didn’t need to grasp them

​

Repeating all our eaches. It’s the origin of us. 

Always was the how do we gather

​

This menagerie up to keep,

Always the attempt to bend to shape

​

Where really there’s twisting. We build 

We plead for every vortex

​

To flatten and carefully press 

All idea into a red coin.

​

Say the universe

Doesn't expand. Say it plays dress up.

​

Turns from its own bedroom mirror

Always and always in new sequins in its

​

Game of layered masquerade. Say instead 

A great vast foreverness casts its bright

​

Silhouette on the present. A mechanism

for what we can't keep in our hands.

​

The more basic the circle the more yes.

Say tower. Say line. Say inde nite falling.

​

Say I both forget and never knew.

Say something what it doesn’t prove.
