Spiral
It begins before you know it
Ribbons of tree meat
Gouged out upward
Without repentance
Always pushing away
Trying to leave
Never gone
You find it in everything:
You can't find it
Like a forever mountain
Across an always plain
Trudging on
Leaving tracks
And the barest cold comfort
Is in hoping that
Some (abstract) one
Will track it to completion
But the more you subtract
The more it multiplies
And you find yourself
Ever
In between
