Spindle, spindle smoothly spinning,
twisting, turning, taking, twirling.
Weaving, weeping, wanting, yearning,
sewing, stitching, growing, burning.
A fabric is woven of lies and confusion.
The tapestry's subject shies back in seclusion.
Its intricate pattern is but an illusion
The stitches around it conspires in collusion.
It grasps for the light as it crawls out from under
A wandering life in a world torn a sunder.
The sun in the sky and the moon seem to plunder
With chaos and fire and lightning and thunder.
The time beaten cloth of the world all around
lay beaten and broken and strewn on the ground.
The tearing of life makes a hideous sound
and the spindle stops spinning around and around.
Crying, convulsing, cowering, cursing,
hating, heartless, homeless, hurting.
Failing, falling, finally turning,
beaten, bruised, banished, burning.
