("Lonesome Day Blues", 2025, original encaustic) Spinning Stories Waking or sleeping Continuously we spin believable stories Ideal or terrible Or just simply boring or strange. Obviously It’s what our minds habitually do And we believe them Even when it’s clear we shouldn’t Because they are our stories Spun into a web To hold our attention, hold us up And hold something, A lack at our center and beyond Our periphery, back. We spin believable stories, A spider in a matrix of its own design, To bring order To chaos Because that’s just what minds habitually do. (4/20/25)
