squaring the circle

To where is this way
leaving algebra
for abracadabra,
finding pi

and to use
transcendence
for squaring the circle
when nobody can do it?

Noli turbare circulos meos,
o Archimedes, shouting
you didn't notice
death coming

the sword of
a simple soldier
ending equations
and approximations

and your circles
crossed, the sand
soaked with blood
for no sense at all

What is this way
to find pi
and not to
understand

ever
but circling
only to square
and then to die?

is death
the only key
to transcendence
or can we let circles

just be circles
and fill our cup
and empty it
enjoying the taste?
