Ask
Draw me a circle; smartest people I know
Then in common voice you may say:
Your skin seethes of rancor and sorrow,
Your eyes burn too low,
Smoke rises from your ghostly ears
Find peace, before loss bleeds your soul


I want your words, your beseeching wisdom
In desperate voice I demand this peace smart people know

The Square Corner is a circle whose centre is everywhere and circumference nowhere.

You don't need any other words, SC -- you've got your own style, syntax and sensibility.

SC -
this is desperate yet hopeful, despairing yet redemptive, like if the apocalypse never came,
like if you woke up in hell,
but you felt great.
