I hang by this thread of belief
swaying in moonlight toward
the edge of the known world
to shape the diagonal of my
geometry that circles its beginning.
I am the centre of my sensibility
below eaves alive with hordes of minutiae
blinded by desire for artificial light;
a mere quivering will shiver
the web of my perceptions to
signal a flight wreck, a fleck of life
spun quickly into final chrysalis;
as if by weaving death from life
I am woven in the image of my maker.
