Once the Circle Breaks Out

Do we wait for tomorrow, as we wait for today Do we see a connection, false wishes to pray Do we draw from the past, as the circle is spun Trapped inside or out, is it then Zero-Sum Can the memories forgotten, revisit again Do the feelings held back, turn to poison and blame Is our freedom beyond our ability to reach Are we the one student, we’ve forgotten to teach Is finality connected, or separate from Those things we hold onto, and still try to run Is that voice we hear calling, from within or without Are they really the same, —once the circle breaks out (Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
