Silver strings stretch trunk to trunk, make
nothing into something, make a hole
into a home: spoke and crossbar, skitter
and turn, spin and trap, again again. 

Inch by inch, the spiral grows deeper
still: helix made haven out of innards,
out of self, given and given, become
and become, comfort arriving, again again.


love notes
a ritual to start the week
