Outline of An Ellipse Clips
when outline she clips
was of a pretty ellipse
that made us turn flips
Jim Horn
At sunrise the heron soars effortlessly upon the breeze
waves roll in crashing upon the rocks and beaches
rising tides reach high upon the sands then fade away
the sun breaks through my window and kisses my cheek.
Round and round and round the great circle of life travels;
much like a whirlpool of bubbles in a small woodland stream.
Day turns to night; night to morn, as clouds migrate on their way
the misty morning rings the bell and the deathbeds overflow.
Into autumn's burnt ashes and all the saddened masses;
It was winter's chill when my spirit lifted; my heart thrived;
from a dead frozen shard, and my soul was forever freed.
Just because you're breathing doesn't mean you're alive.
At sunset the heron soars effortlessly into a colorful twilight
the waves now whisper to the rocks and sandy beaches
great tides fall slowly as the full moon rises in a pink sky
a lullaby rocks me to sleep as moonlight kisses my cheek.
ELLIPSE
Swing me out in a gravitational arc into
the ether way out fast, reach my apogee
start my descent back to earth. Bit rough this time,
turbulence shakes me, back to the dump joke shop joke shop.
Sign on the line, give me my giro. Yeah, I’m part of the jump
in unemployed figures! No future, no job, no mortgage.
Held in place by gravity skull moon eclipse of unemployment.
Eternally.
ELLIPSE
They were very in love.
They married for all the right reasons.
He had overcome obstacles.
He did not defeat himself with hatred.
Because he had been used and abused, she was his breath of fresh air.
In midst of a blessing, evil forms that kind you will think could not transform
reality to surrealistic.
The mammoth was a zephyr.
He was such a gentle man.
He always put her first.
He was not verbal abusive.
Every word was filled with love.
The status of their union brought marriage vows.
In a blink of the eye, a change will transpire.
Not one that is known but one that lies,
she saw no wrong that she could deny.
How does a man captures a woman mind?
He accompanies her thoughts all day and night.
He is as sweet as can be.
He’s her blessing.
The world perceives.
Epithetical, Zephyr she moans truly happy.
As defined prior to this verse, Zephyr was a mammoth.
He gave her everything she desired.
In that process, he possessed her will her mind.
In the midst of a blessing, evil lives.
To query this statement…ellipse

for too long, fragmented arcs
not fitting together, broken
until you, now it is as if
a compass has drawn the
perfect circumference
tangent touching
your radius, straight to my heart
reflection symmetry
the arcs now fitting together
enclosing the circle
completing me
