Inside I'm free No need to breathe The knife cuts a careful arch Intent to leave it's mark And through it, I see Around and around the bend This circle remains an end Around and around the bend This circle remains a friend Around and around the bend This cycle remains a test In the garden she's scene Captured imagery Buried beneath the ground Still life all around And through it, I see Around and around the bend This circle remains an end Around and around the bend This circle remains a friend Around and around the bend This cycle remains a test Around and around the bend This circle remains an end With a step she closes in on me Like broken glass A drop of jewelry With a click she takes my breath away And holds it for another day Around and around the bend This circle remains an end Around and around the bend This circle remains a friend Around and around the bend This cycle remains a test Around and around the bend This circle remains an end Below the place I carve and rest A matchbook sparks a lone address The fire burns and walks with me Down to Contemplation Street
