“Series Infinity” by Irfan Mirza
that old man
was the man
who was me
long before
I was born
spent his youth
as my son
till he grew
to become
my own father
wisdom chased
across arcs
around loops
by fleet folly
faith and
knowledge
bended back
on themselves
giving life and
death sacred
dimensions
of circles
and time
the atomic
momentum
of wheels
turning turning
returning with
infinite speed
