Gyre Poems - Poems about Gyre


The Circadian Shadow
Let the brief time be cast away, Let the movable thread be loosely handled, Let the shadow be cast on you, Let the water flow over the distant edges. But when you know you’ll never get the wanderer back, Even as you cast him off, When you tally the drifters, They’re all misplaced and undone. The Moirai will let him go, Because, you know, You...

Sedens Gyre
No more though I pine, may I rip from breast and thought This blind obedience to kind that claims all that is naught What tranche belies and thus survives divided from the whole Ere natures heart must thus depart from customary roles As fleeting breaths do evanesce in splintered harmony Bids archeus farewell to dwell in brief obscurity What balm may...

The Infinite Gyre
Riding the spiraling clockwork of reality again – Off to the sky, beyond the clouds… And the revolutions grow faster, but, slowly, I begin to perceive their pattern. I am a slow learner, but I have been given the gift of time. Bittersweet elixir of life: unfulfilled desires and unrecognized gifts, Kaleidoscope of pleasure and pain. Already, I have dreamt 10,000...

Bloomed Gyre
Bloomed there are the starry flowers of life On the twilight landscape of gold springtime, The time horse runs far from the wood of Frost Though the dream holds the sleep very warmly, Crunchy leaves flow with the south gentle wind Soggy meadows wrap the sunlight in ground Steam hot under the green leaves, warming buds Crunchy wildlife with the heave of...

Flights In the Gyre of Being
The chick killed its brother; the weak have to be expelled from the nest, It had to be the last and the first, the one still instinctively pecking, still begging from the raw red mouth to endure long enough to soar. She feeds it the meat of its sibling, She has no sorrow for death yet she must blind her eyes to do this thing. It...

A Gap In the Gyre -- Part 3
Today I saw the most beautiful sun! Today I'm so grateful for being alive! If you’ve found serenity, continue with the next right thing If you’ve found sobriety but are triggered, play the tape If you’ve found celebration, pass on the hope and sing! If you’re still in that loop, wait for a moment of still, quiet, and surrender. There’s a...

A Gap In the Gyre -- Part 2
Jones Day Unwelcome sun Wait Wait Wait “Hey Claire, see if that old queen next door’s got anything.” “I don’t think she’s up yet.” “I will give five bucks for a rinse.” Wait Wait in a parking lot Wait A man at the hotel Nodding off Hugging himself Ignoring Everyone in the building On the street I hate him Why do I hate him I hate him I hope he falls down those...

A Gap In the Gyre -- Part 1
An old hotel in Portland Rain hitting street lamps The buzzer Click Surveillance camera “Can I get a room?” It used to be called the "Burnside Triangle" back when it was still gay Bump Bump da Bump da bump Nightclubs bangin’ Young twinks in their twenties They chat and drink The hopeless live upstairs By flickering neon sign An old hotel in Portland “That’s $40” “Will I be directly above...
