WIDDERSHINS
Voices flutter and peck
as a
gloom of entropy
holds
sway.
Temptation dances swiftly
to
find me –
pinioned.
Lepidoptera'd
to the stand.
Decisions,
demands, desires
crowding
the exits.
Impasse
reigns.
Stasis
settles from
mote
freighted air -
synapses
crashing closed.
Inspiration dawns refreshed,
telegraphing
to ossic archipelagoes.
My
reluctant puppet stirs, rising.
Krakenesque -
breasting the waves of
lethargy
sounding
slowly.
