Invisible Enemy


Strings
You balance in the lightweight air
You hear the violins
Close your eyes
Everything’s strings.
You feel it pull your lightweight hand
And tangle in your hair
All stretched out
Everyone’s strings.
You hem it, come together
You hang it (out to dry)
Whispers shift the currents
Everyday’s strings.
You know it’s tied together
You walk always anyway.
Never saw it there
Everclear strings.

Will
This might be the last time
I have to try
I hope
It yields so much promise
Then in it’s prime
It goes
I test it several times
For one success
I probe
One false twitch, I know
Will place me in
Your mode

Presentiment
Oh so amazing
Stuns my bare eyes
The plague we need
Endure it to survive
Coming down hard
And filling up quick
The fix for cleansing
Retreat for the sick
And what shall we do?
…fell through holes in the net
fall as it may
it’s not our concern.
