Raffi Wartanian: shapes

around every corner,

a circle.

inside every circle,

a triangle.

At triangle’s tip,

hips

oscillating,

feasting,

purring,

on sideways eights.

inside infinity,

a broken line,

it’s teeth -

yeasty & yellow.

outside hexagons,

spacetime

informed,

inconceivable,

impenetrable,

by man,

monkey,

octopus,

or fire cylinders.

around every circle,

corners.

inside your lips,

an abacus,

hollow-centered

and dashed,

sliding and

sliding and

counting

waiting

breathless.
