Is a period a circle or a dot?

Under what conditions 
can a preposition start
a phrase? Downward 

conditions. The sense
of next to, the need to be
side, the connective thirst

must be drenched when
exiting slack. What happens
to you when I rhyme a word

that replaces the word
it rhymed with?
Poems can be

sudoku or they
can be the reason
to keep the seasons'
quarters spinning.

There is an octopus
in a heron's mouth.
There is a mirror 
before the face 

of humankind.
No one likes
what they see.

Everyone
wishes.
