Elliptical circles

She thinks that perhaps
if she spoke
in these elliptical circles

if she let these

it’s not that she needs to
conjure up the picture-perfect words
nor the right tenor of feelings
nor the perfectly robust theology
to validate existence

  1. How does one speak in an elliptical circle? Do you mean that you are circling around a topic, but trying to stretch wider than the topic's bounds, from a circle into an ellipse, to try to encompass a greater reality?
