Final

 



Finally married 

that man

Finally

left that man

for good

as soon as I could.

Finally saw

the predator

posing as a lover.

Finally found

myself

a deep dwelling place

far away and finally safe.

Finally 

alone again

and feeling-growing

Grace

becomes a knot

untied.

Although

no 

freedom 

is Final.

Forts


Broken down, the All
was noplace, collectively
rather-scattering
That there is no longer
meaning
there is no there there
no such thing as a moral hunter
there will never be
a thing
that is
wholly itself alone
and shatter-proof. 
There was nothing to see
that would help us
recognize entanglement
as a knot to be undone.

Tangled


Second attempts do not require as much effort as first tries.
Thirds are not charms or wheels.
We have all tried to glue back together a broken
relationship, shattered heart
and found the seal wont hold water,
err go-blood must be thicker.
And if string theory pulls through,
we will never undo
these tangled webs we are weaving,
and worse-believing.
Staying connected and on top of,
is anything but breaking free or standing
on your own ground.
We all know that replaying past episodes
does not require a live audience.
Who rote these lines
that we know by heart?
And which is my part?
We can always re-adapt the story line, besides
history is always true in monologues.

Improvisation is life or death. Kill it with kindness lest
the ripple effect, or butterfly analogy
works with wind and waves impartially.
It is really more of the same, unwinding our twisted terrain,
re-threading disconnecting together.
Picking up pieces or carcasses
Unraveling all
that we are knot.

Image detail info:
English: This view of Jupiter’s moon Europa features several regional-resolution mosaics overlaid on a lower resolution global view for context. The regional views were obtained during several different flybys of the moon by NASA's Galileo mission, and they stretch from high northern to high southern latitudes. Prominent here are the long, arcuate (or arc-shaped) and linear markings called lineae (Latin for strings or threads), which are a signature feature of Europa’s surface. Color saturation has been enhanced to bring out the subtle red coloration present along many of the lineae. The color data extends into the infrared, showing bluish ice (indicating larger ice grains) in the polar regions. The terrain in this view stretches from the side of Europa that always trails in its orbit at left (west), to the side that faces away from Jupiter at right (east). In addition to the lineae, the regional-scale images contain many interesting features, including lenticulae (small spots), chaos terrain, maculae (large spots), and the unusual bright band known as Agenor Linea in the south. This view is an orthographic projection centered on 5.53 degrees south latitude, 214.5 degrees west longitude and has a resolution of 1,600 feet (500 meters) per pixel. An orthographic view is like the view seen by a distant observer looking through a telescope. The mosaic was constructed from individual images obtained by the Solid State Imaging (SSI) system on NASA's Galileo spacecraft during six flybys of Europa between 1996 and 1999 (flybys designated G1, E11, E14, E15, E17, and E19).
