Electric Gyre

I can't understand the reason
for your concentric circuitry
here today and here tomorrow
all the while nothing passing
but a steady current of self reflection

I was the tune that you played
with faultless precision
a predator's call in the voodoo hour
caged rooster just out of reach
of the prescient fang

We've all had a taste of what might be
and that is why we bite again
hunger is just a reminder of why
you have always been just out of my reach
just beyond the meaning of my need
