consider the art of the tendril or the thread
or the power of a hook or a stitch
each entanglement deliberate
yet unplanned
I don't know where it takes us
but here we are
there is no sense looking at a constellation
expecting a mirror, but I do
~ so help me
maybe I'm reflected in a single speck
or there is a way of viewing the composite
to make sense of it all...
there is a chance
and I acknowledge it
that I'm looking into a void
where nothing is connected
nor has purpose
let alone to the bystander
perhaps we leave a mark here or there
where it once made sense
that later sheds no light
it's definitely not nothing
though that disk obscures it
is that where the answers lie
scratch the surface
look beneath your nails
swing on the outer edges
where you can hang on
no one seems to know
if we step forward or step back
for understanding
I'm wondering now
whether the answers just bleed
from the blanket of blue
that I mistook for black
thinking it the canvas
but it's the beginning
and everything else
merely a distraction
