Filamentous

I felt
the stretching of fibers
until they broke.
Then
the gauzy place between them.

A gust of wind
No sound
Just the straining of filaments
to reconnect.

In time,
A separation that
Could no longer be reconciled
The space between fibers
Now full of nothing
but
possibility.

  1. Beautiful. Reminds me of the time I tore my Achilles tendon during a hike!
