Ruminations

In the story 
 You're a loose thread 
 Slipping through a lie 
 Slicing through a tattered fringe 
 Twisting on a line 

 A shred of proof 
 In a tangled ruse 
 Stripped of the sublime 
 A cobweb with a thousand folds 
 Plying for my time 
 Tearing through paper truths 
 To occupy my mind 

 In the sequel you're exposed 
 On the threshold of a rising 
 Wrinkling like a crescent moon 
 On the edge of my horizon 

 Stretching like a shadow 
 Drawn out by the night 
 You crouched like a second thought 
 Hiding from the light
