revolutionary
an elegy to the True life

the whole world moves in circles;
            cycles.
i wonder if it knows.
when the dying dragonfly
senses his approaching demise
does he also sense the start of a
new chapter in the journey of his
    constituent
        parts
and fly to die at the roots of a
redwood rising, reaching for the
    limit.
does he wish to again
become a dragonfly
that knows no limits but
the circularity of the Earth?
Did Nemo the desert vagabond for beauty foresee
his elements would become a Supertramp?
when my spirit can no longer
maintain and support this
            collection of molecules
let it decompose in a forest, river, or estuary.
give it to the Earth
so that i may be ‘round again
