all directions lead to the center

all directions 2s

Like the moon, I am an echo, repeating
 the gravities of my orbit–
anchored inside by both light and dark,
circling me, refacing me

The gravities of my orbit
 give me direction but not location–
circling me, refacing me,
scattering my stardust into the void

Given direction but not location,
 like Janus, I am always between–
scattering my stardust into the void
with no before or after

Like Janus I am always between–
 I am not looking for eternity
with no before or after,
life is always right here and right now

I am not looking for eternity
 to position me in a narrative–
life is always right here and right now–
its beginning and end are unknowable

I am positioned in a narrative
 of patterns I don’t understand–
its beginning and end are unknowable–
I dream of circumvention

Following patterns I don’t understand,
 anchored inside by both light and dark,
I dream of circumvention–
like the moon I am an echo, repeating

  3. Nice lines: “I am positioned in a narrative
    of patterns I don’t understand–”

    I like the bright colors especially the reds in the center of the circle of blues and whites in the last watercolor.
