I. Approach
Coil of night.
Coil of sleep.
Star-fields keep
their hush.

☆

II. Revolution
Not falling.
Not rising.
Just the slow
unbroken
circling.

☆

III. Memory of Stone
Deep core remembers.
Deep core holds.
Heat folds.
Rock turns.
Names burn.
You remain.

☆

IV. Voice Without Breath
No word.
No tongue.
Only the curve
the curve
the curve
repeating.

☆

V. The Long Spiral
Around the ages.
Around the dark.
Around the light.
Around the spark.
Around nothing.

Around
On.
On.

☆

VI. Gravitation
Your law is quiet.
Your touch is slow.
We move
because you move.
We turn
because you turn.

☆

VII. Witness
Stars flare.
Stars fade.
Worlds rise.
Worlds fall.
You are the part
that does not call
attention
to itself.

☆

VIII. The Serpent Speaks Once
I am orbit.
I am return.
I am the shape
the void must learn.

☆

IX. Return
Coil of night.
Coil of breath.
We pace your path
even in death.
