"Irony [is] the song of a prisoner who's come to love his cage" - David Foster Wallace


In the lonely dimension of night

I reach out with my mind, tendrils, to grasp you

I reach without time, stepping out of a car to a brand new yesterday

In the sticky present of cobweb eyelids and a shortness of breath I wear as epaulets

Boulders to tendrils in the forge, a trial by fire

But it forgets the lovely spider from which the tendrils are spun

Out of the forge and into the day

The tendrils remain, never undone
