Tethered To a Moment

Tethered to a Moment A-ha flickers in the momentum of birthing inspiration New love or grief or tantrums of the soul tether the nascent moment, Tied onto remembrance in the thrust of a second split, Swaddled in swooping formal obsidian curves - Punctuated by specks dotting exhales – In ebony lines of crushed lamp black – Define a whisper in contours captured In structured pools of graphite toner Bending eloquent articulation into elegance And blinding revelations secured to real time By boundaries of quill and ink Protected from unrestrained madness outside the lines Teeming to fling the new birthed unexplored essence into crypts Of unending oblivion where arches restrain full spectrum hues, Swallowed by the mischief of cyber chasms Where guilty remnants shove blind mystery into Unheard screaming abyss', Preserved, Sheltered by boundaries inside the interval’s signature Tethered to a moment 9-2-21 Title Chosen: Tethered to a Moment Contest: This or That Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
