A fact of pressure

Frankly, trouble. And then –

oh to be elliptical, to be the planet’s path.


I have watched them go round and round and

wish to never descend. Descent a fact of gravity,

burst a fact of pressure. They upend, they preen,
enumerate what spills: crude, blow, flow



Extract meaning from – 

who turns around and says what happened 


was delirium? Or censure. Says

what happened never did. Dare you.
