Rotation Without Witness
The root bends upward
where water forgets it was ever named
a stem splits into thought
leaves stitched with circles
inked before sight learned color
no soil
only suspension
figures rise from green breath
veins map the argument of heat
no mouths
yet something keeps being transferred
time is drawn sideways
stars mislabeled on purpose
rotation without witness
patterns repeat
until repetition forgets why
the page knows
what the reader cannot
meaning circles the text
like an animal that won’t enter
the trap it already survived
ink remains
obedient
silent
complete
