No Death before Birth

There’s a circle. It’s
life drawn in chalk.
There is movement
and impermanence
inherent in its simplicity.
I stand outside it.
Nevertheless it is me.
The circle knows much
that silence says.
Together we repeat it
as if it were a mantra
because, perhaps, we
think, it might be a mantra:
No death before birth.
