Relativity according to Escher

The circle is the shape that can't escape
the trap of its own history and follows its fate
in blind determination. Ruins are
the repetition of a kiss from time.

Twelve months loop 'round forever,
like night rides the back of day
with reins to its own mouth.
Embers grow cold as the room warms up.

The backdoors are blown open with a bang,
the void is left behind.

Man looks around and wonders
what it means, or where it all began
as if it mattered, whereas the theory goes
we'll reach the starting point simply by waiting.
Lavaca mooed back at "De relativiteit van Escher " (2007) by Michel Krott.
