threads continue on

arqios

 

threads continue on

 

The room carries a few movements

at the same time, none asking to be first.


A single remark ends up doing the work

of the whole conversation without meaning to.


Two angles sit beside each other,

          neither folding into the other,

                    both steady in their own way.

One line settles the room, not by force,

just by being the place everyone returns to.


A reply moves slightly off to the side,

          keeping its own path

                    while the thread continues on.

    Everything has its own place and contribution but in a larger picture it seems a whole. A most cubist style that makes me think of a poetic Picasso
