how often
do we think we
do a thing
when truly we
are doing
something else
how often
do we think we
go toward a thing
when actually
it is moving
toward us
sometimes
it chases me
we both roll
pass one another
on our way to the sun
sometimes
it comes to me
out from the sun
seen round
again
to start an oblong one
different this time from the previous run
last night i watched a dog circle its bed
round and around
to get it right
to feel it sound
it reminded me of years and lifetimes
we circle around
i smiled and laughed
which stopped the dog
who faced me
to smile back
eye to eye
before it lay down
in my place
of perception
as i become
this time
i move toward the sun
while you come
from behind it
to lead me
to follow
to the other side.
