Snatching Straws

Snatching 
 straws
 falling
  tilting 
 precariously

 through 
   notice
 toward 
   doom
 inverted 
   caricatures
 of 
 marionettes
 shine
 &  community
  supports 
  & grips 
 divine

   stumbling 
  wild 
 madness
  shaking out 
 clean

   time 
 & its 
 witness
 upland 
 coarse.

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.
