circular

i like circles
circular motions
revolving doors
planetary rotations
i like circles
ferris wheels
and carousels
such dizzying notions
i like circles
the sun
the moon
and what’s in between
the stars i have not yet seen
i like circles
self-referential
circular references
things that end
in the same way
they begin
i like circles

light

i have no delusions
of light at the end of the tunnel.
i don’t expect to get there.
God may have said,
“let there be light”.
i say, “there need be none”.
i have no delusions.
i roam in any direction
that my feet will lead me.
i carry nothing with me.
nothing here is mine.
only the journey…
maybe the journey is mine.
