Repeat Until the End

Repeat Until the End

Like Yeats’ falcon
in the widening gyre,
we spiral in the dance,
recycling arguments,
sweat blurring our eyes,
as our grip on the centre
loosens and lets go,
we swing wildly to the edge
in our centrifugal course
away, away from reason,
destined only for the darkness
that waits outside.

Prompt: Pick any line from David Bowie's LET'S DANCE and use it as inspiration for your poem. Make sure you indicate which lyric(s) you chose at the end of your poem.
I chose the line [Repeat until the end:]. I know it’s a cheat but it’s a line in the lyrics as stated and I really can’t stand that song.
