Caveat: Poem #814 “Semiogenesis”

ㅁ
The reasons we do things
remain inscrutable,
our thoughts spin, running rings,
with motivations dull

and grayish clouds that drift
within their bony domes;
while outside visions lift
away the seething foams

of seas that beat and thrash
against perceptions, so
at last a tiny cache
of meaning falls like snow

which leaves a pallid face
which tilts up into space.

– a sonnet in iambic trimeter.
