Wire

Below, ink slimes its black and worms trails in souls with words scratched indelible, pithy as coal Above oxygen breathes colour and swims in silky tides billowing, angels in tow while Between, I stretched taut, frayed wire hung from precipitous mantle, reach for what is mine

taut wire

Below,

ink slimes its black

and worms trails

in souls with words

scratched indelible,

pithy as coal

Above

oxygen breathes colour

and swims in silky

tides billowing,

angels in tow

while

Between,

I

stretched taut,

frayed wire hung

from precipitous

mantle, reach

for what

is mine

      Isn’t it beautiful? I caught another tonight, so hopefully there is at least one ‘keeper’ for the week.

    A redemptive brittleness to this one. Excellent, Melody.

      Thanks Rob. I like the term brittleness…I think it fits.

        I kinda thought so. It felt a bit sharp, but…hopeful.
