This Binding Cocoon

Gary Edward Geraci

My worldview befits

the closed-in deadness of a

cocoon; safe and self-

satisfied; bereft of the

keys to blinding mysteries.

  • Comment from author about the poem: The “Cocoon” Tankas: My original stream of thought in it’s entirety: ‘Your worldview befits the closed-ended-ness of a cocoon safe and self-satisfied but bereft of the keys to the great mysteries. Oh it pains me to see you languish here mate! How jubilant for me (and you) to light a single silk thread of that which encloses you so as to set you free so that we, staying the course, could run together forever.” So, in the final act, I created two, 5-7-5-7-7 Tankas, releasing the sequel “Silk Cocoons” first and then the prequel “This Binding Cocoon” second. Such is poetic license when one goes about ‘wordsmithing’!

      Thanks Orchidee for the read and for catching the spelling error in my comment section. Although I believe I might have made up at least one new word in a previous poem (check my poem “Green Apples”) clearly it was not my intention here.
