bread for the journey....

"i live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the earth.
i may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.

i circle around god, that great primordial tower.
i've been circling for thousands of years
and i still don't know: am i a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?"
