- love’s a circle standing on top of a pyramid balancing a square.
- love’s a circle in a three-ring circus, the center circle,
- where someone stands, maybe you,
- threading torches of fire through your lover’s legs.
- love’s a tiger moving round in the veldt with an eye on the grazing future.
- love’s a rat in a cage singing the praises of God.
- love’s out doing a dance, foolish and offbeat,
- with a circle of non-believers just outside the limelight, clapping their hands.
- love’s a lemon
- and the memory of a dog who could melt your heart by looking in your eyes.
- because you’re the rhythm,
- love’s the reason.
