Round, like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a
wheel, never ending
or beginning on an ever-spinning reel like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon, Teresa May and David Davies, uncle Boris the buffoon. I have listened with
impatience, pondered
endlessly and oft talk of borders soft or hard and dreams
of Brexit hard or soft like the circles that you find in the
windmills of your mind.
And their words are empty mansions and their echoes linger
on in the places that they came from
where the sun has never shone, like a door that keeps revolving in a
half-forgotten dream, like the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in a stream, as the thunder of the aircraft and the tremor of the bomb will one day be returning to the places they came from like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind.
Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head...
Why did summer go so quickly? Is your empire really
dead? You’ll find the world is changing and
you’ll find that it’s too late; that the world is not your oyster and it isn’t on your plate.
Pictures hanging in a hallway and the fragment of a song... One day
soon, they‘ll
all be going, and
I hope they won’t be
long; as their empty words keep turning, lives are
broken in the mill; some say Teresa May, but no, I doubt she
ever will, like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel
within a wheel never
ending or beginning on an ever-spinning reel as the images
unwind like the
circles that you find in the windmills of your mind.
