gyrating

his thoughts were gyrating about; a conquistador
in a sandstorm; with: no passport out of this desert;
no shelter from the scorching sun; no reprieve from
the scavengers hovering; his thoughts were gyrating
about; with: each step sacred; each breath measured;
each thought treasured; each minute shorter; his
thoughts were gyrating about; like: the posterior
of his high school teacher; chasseing into class; his
first dance with a lover; an abrasion of bodies; his
goldfishes in an aquarium; flailing back and forth;

his thoughts were gyrating about; they were: looping;
hinged on a cycle; spinning on automatic; his sanity
stood: fragile; tenuous; crumbling to pieces; his thoughts
were gyrating about; god was: shoving him places he
didn't want to go; turning him over to the devil;
withholding the love from him; his thoughts were
gyrating about; the motion sicker; the notions careening
across; the truths misaligned with favour; the thirst
more excruciating than ever; his thoughts were
gyrating about; his thoughts were gyrating about;

et in arcadia ego
