edging time in circles
'twixt and 'tween
frostbit and slow
losing all track of 
minutes dragging blue
monkey paw my eyes
to howl in the blind
to fade into thin slices
of spiral-cut memories
framed between
future tense and
the long past longing
to merge these fragments
to blend glass-shard cuts
into a tapestry sewn
with the webs drawn
from deep dark waters
you
