Of Spider on Ankle and Raindrops for Prom

sheets of fountain water
slide from the rivulet
cascade against brick
structure, foundation, the whole spiel

nerve endings
crackle with hair pop electric shimmy
stand at attention
the ambassador of quadrant five
cosmic crown
delta major
voodoo hoodoo
just sang a hymn
with hand over heart
hat to chest
lump to throat

synchronized with the lava king
of molten core

babbled verbs in vibration
peace and war hum between blinks

what meaning of words
if not followed by action

as thought folds into form
and promises hold true

over time
with careful stitching

massages through turmoil

fingertips weaving
around the edges of chaos
to spell the script
toward higher order

another storm
another opportunity to dance
another threshold
another do or die
another bug in the system
another chance to crack codes
