"Circle" by Joe DiMino

Nothing moves
In a straight line:
Not the sky
Not air
Nor the current sea—
Contained in a sense
The circle not free

Just eternity….

Life and death
For a moment meet

Unable to join forces
Both diametrically retreat—
Defeated by the other;
The motion backward
Past and present
Become one—
Something a god
Might have consciously done
Or simply
Another flipside
Of omnipotence

Illumination
Both dark and light
A healthful balance
Of delight
And blight
When
Depending on the physician
To my taste
More Jung
Than Freud

Therefore beneath
While above
Love best
Should be
Ever expansive
(A dreamy
Concept)
Open-ended
Ultimately
I think
What the circle
Intended….
