Leonardo's Sketches

the only part i loved were the rippling circles of water and the words that water wind wood air obey one law

those ripples wondrous geometrical perfect eddies circles in my sink or at a stone's throw

swings clocks seesaws all that same motion lawful birds' lever wings core-petal flower circles

a cut trunk or time: the seasons coming going returning or moisture making rain which moistens then more rain

or our sun-circling all programmed as my ticking watch and Someone most meticulous nods
