'our strips of stuff that tatter as we move'

Jon Nakapalau

down decades corridors of splintered dreams
  that narrow in singular direction 
  to snag on years of frayed days spun
    from golden thread of sun unwinding faster 
    how this knots into not known binding
      to weave shroud that burns so brightly on that last night.

    I had to catch my breath after this one. I picture the three Fates, one spinning, one weaving, and one snagging a loose thread to begin unravelling us, all jumbled into one intense tour de force. Painful and somewhat beautiful!
