An End in Itself

It's a circular path into nowhere.

Spiraling, even.

It's not a place of beauty,

I can tell you that,

and it's not a place of hope.

You just can't go there.

At some point in every day,

your breath catches in your throat.

I cry every day. The life with polka dots,

it lives in water.
