A Circle

I am as big and no bigger than a circle 

I am round and soft around the edges 

I hold the possibility of the world under my shell until a delicate crack runs my yolk through wrenched fingers 

I am as big and no bigger than round 

I am no bigger than 

earth 

moon

I am as big as sun 

I am the wheel carrying mine and your load across lands 

I am the hands on the dial singing the stories written on my face 

I am in movement 

I am movement 

I am as big as the iris and the eye that sees how to best love me 

I am as big as the head on a nail driving and driving me further along this line of movement for movements sake 

I am as big as the latticed pie that knows how scrumptious I am 

I am as big as the balloon that knows I am a celebration 

as the letter O that knows how to orate my cum-ing  

I am as big as the cells of my body that knows there is something more than this 

I am as big as and no bigger than all of these things  

I am as big as and no bigger than all things
