Today's poem - Garden

Garden

 

A brick wall is a kind of sign

one that anyone can read:

no over, no under, no through

 

Four make an enclosure

to deny the unicorn

 

Inside, a circular path

is slowly scribed

against four corners

in order to wander

as if still free

 

Inversions keep us whole

and circles and distance

displace lives we dream of

something false to leverage

recurring what can unwind

 

Into such a place come formulae

admirable in structure

superimposed from without

on the opposite side

of four walls and consistent peace
