The boy with the
stick
draws a circle
in the dirt,
puts a fine
point on the matter,
closes creation
in its circumference
and knows that
it is good.
The man draws
circles
in the dirt with
his finger,
his mind making
a quick calculation
before looking
up to free the adulteress
who has come
full circle to herself.
Stones are
dropped by passers-by,
a fine point
having been put on the matter,
and the woman,
now centered
in the
circumference of her soul,
knows that it is
good.
