One and one are still one(s)




Widowed.

I know.

Defining the living

differing 

from the dead

no more

less is more

time

heals, they say, better

someday, you'll see, after

waking me from my 

apathy 

Alone

and at times 

afraid.

Arachnophobic, he was anyway

weakling for his size

entangled in his own webs

he chose to 

attach to hollow branches

before wind wakes

taking down 

all trace

of home, snare, trap, nest

I should feel blessed to be free 

of all the same hospice

And just this

One 

got away alive.

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).

And then...

  Change is like that strong smell of cut grass or chopped wood that stops you still. Patterns, a symbol can be an illegible sign,  at first...
