My Turn
eternally seems like a light
with a dark presumption
for life phases
in chained rings
of love and regret
the appearing and disappearing
measurable
and even this not yet
everything ends
except for the circle
what if I make one up
that starts and never stops
just shrinks or expands
an ongoing existence
by going around
all by itself
without any doubt
