Circumlocutions

Say the mind is a ring, and twirl three times;
Now twirl in the circle of your twirls, but cross-wise, so
Perpendicular twirls slant-wise ring
Around themselves. All of these twirls, in the axes of their crossing,
Have their own particular meaning, particular beings –
Each is endowed by principles of motion, principles of semblance
Seeming through and up the whole. In the interaction of these parts –
Of swirls and rip-tides, whorl-pools, slides
The priority of life, the truly spinning tongue.
