Cyclic, I succumb to stasis,
patterns wrapped around me
like the noose on my neck…
With orbits of compulsion,
the world whirls inward,
churning up chaos,
axis askew.
Coerced by compulsion.
Gripped by gravity...
I’m still feeding
more loops through.
The tether tightens
as the circle constricts,
and I’m anchored down
by the pit of my throat.
