raveling travel
he was talking about how it was
that a spider
found on different islands
separated by infinite water
could get around
(undaunted by doubt)
a silk thread
swept up by wind
maybe like a song
past understanding catches the ear
as if we could hear
filaments of ourselves on the air
a strand of dying sunlight
pulling thread out of a star
a more rational creature
would not dare
such a survival strategy --
silk -- unraveling
oneself -- a form
of travel
