Unguided fingers clutching pens
go looping through and
wind around
the centers
they had

never
held

so

any
circle
inked
will sway

(oval, ovoid,
odd, oblique)

encompassing
perfection's flaw:

these faulty orbits mortals draw
shall not approach those divine lines
surpassing touch and time's designs

- inviolable geometry
beyond all thoughts
and what we see.
