ARACHNE
Arachne
shuffles off,
her eyes on
the horizon,
to hang herself;
to find a
neglected
corner
to dream
in the dark
of the mind
a weave
to catch herself
to herself
to feed –
self-murder
ever
self-involved.
This time
so wholly
as to change
her shape
to show death
to be no more
than a weave
toward an ever
receding
offing.
