Sufi X walks a horizontal axis

meets Sufi Y at the crux

& they spin, given

​

circle- rotational form, prone to gravity

round…

round,

          faster

​

roundroundround

!      laughing,

            spinning

                souls spindling

 

vertical while their limbs fondue

empty, free as lightning

 

until all that’s left is 

a sizzling pool of eyes

watching strange wheels

& curios that spin 

to no visible end
