Imagine this:
a net with knots
tied with some
meticulous
and then imagine
it some more
tied with craft
and intricants
until it were
dimensional
in thirds and fours--
abirthing fifth.

Allow it to take a form
and then you are -
you're getting warm -
to what it is
and what it ain't
and picture it
as light

and hey!

then you see us
modalite
strings in tie
of fiber opt
and ultimate
lite-brite...

now-you-see-us
now-you-don't


the brown outs
are the "us" that won't
co-operate within the splay
of connection gradiant
and drowning in our yesterdays
of every pain remembered as
a point of reference and that--

is difficult today.

"Be a beacon"
fight the night
I'll bet you never thought of light
as a sword in battledark--
not an edge of cutting, but
a flame to grant a bit of spark
to the nets that keep us down

like balloons in pen of cage

bound to get away...

they pray
bobbing
at the knit of this
popping
like a suicide
bomber, one step closer

this

is not the blueprint

nor the plan

and I type much better than

the ones who died

ahead, before

we started making knots.

I just knew you'd blossom with great poetry based on your horrible experience.  What beauty, I sincerely thank you for but wish you hadn't lived the basis that they spring from.

This reminds me of watching a spider one time try to re-build her web.  I waited as long as I could to see how she made out, but had to return the next day.  I returned to find her having used part of the old one to build a new one.  Sometimes things simply just change to stay the same don't they?  An intricate write Mz.

Here I am again, inadequate to tell you how this hit me, but it does!  A lot said here!  You brilliantly express what I may have thought, but unable to word.  Guess my voice is tied up in nots. Glad yours isn't!

I am always taken aback by your work serenity... and just a little envious.

Serenity, Your poems are always so worth the read--and the re-read your poetry sometimes requires of me.  You see beneath the surface, beneath the darkness, and you cut it like a curtain with your sword of radiance.  You have amazing ability to see beyond your eyes, to find the points of reference that sparkle in the dark until the dots connect in some apprehension of purpose and design--nets and knots, epiphany.

"magine this:
a net with knots"


Hey, I don't have to "MAGINE" it.

Been there.

far as I got in your poem.

almost choked my throat air off...it did!

scared me away.

Will never go there again:

I know what y'mean, Will.

I was scarred for life by "The Itsy Bitsy Spider"

One can never be too careful.

But anyhow, I did want to come back to thank everyone else who managed to brave the terrifying depths of my subconsicous, and managed to overcome their trembling long enough to type a polite and cordial reply.

So thanks everybody.

And Will, I do understand. Just when I think it is safe, somethng always seems to leap out of the darkness to bite me too.

I exit, thoroughly disgusted...
