Cursive turns.

Cursive comes close,
it almost describes it.
Rather it is the mode,
the rotation of its characters.
That is, how it rotates,
cursive closely imitates.

But the comparison is flawed,
a subtle yet essential distinction.
Cursive letters loop and close,
their paths calibrated, ileal.
My curves are different,
they're untraceable, capricious, luminous.

So my soul's turns are unique.
But for now the pen tip's flourish
must suffice.

About Me

All poetry is supposed to be instructive but in an unnoticeable manner; it is supposed to make us aware of what it would be valuable to instruct ourselves in; we must deduce the lesson on our own, just as with life. -Goethe
