The words claim me.
My mind gradually suspends
in the space of myriad events
that are circuitous or plainly clear
I follow every spherical twist
of plots weaving meaningfully
through the course of circumstances.
I balance the characters' horizontal
expectations that run skewed
down the slope of misunderstanding.
I climb up to their insurmountable
vertical ideas of conflict, groping
along the rope of confusion.
I am now delivered to the thrill
of confrontations, protagonist
uncovers the truth-dilemma
to the antagonist
Finally, I am pulled down
upon the grounds of forgiveness
and reconciliation.
The story wraps me up
into a euphoria of inspiration
or into a trail of expectation
to ask what happens next?
The words grip me.
