_Circle_

Check the coordinates, mate,
 for I have a premonition that our journey has come
full circle. The moon and the stars seem glued to the sky, exactly where I had seen
them at the start of time, only with faint traces of smeared grime.

Yes, they look like they have been pasted
 and peeled, and again, only to leave 
the stains of repeated efforts rearranging them till the spaces ran out of unsoiled
patches.
