Hard Roundness forms undercut
grasps and clings to darker patches
Locked in the knot
unable to fall back
slowly spread onto cushion night
steel light beyond
waits the glint of a blade
shivers of radiance
on waves at dawn
blood in my body stretches
a band, taught, struck vibrates
quivers a note
fades lower into silence
shifting of feet on gravel
dimly deeper, the path appears as I step
balanced on the thin edge of now.
