Texttile

The shuttle shuttles forth and back
Amniotic threads having tworled distaffly
Between thumb and finger that might have plied the tamboura
Antistabile discursor
Against the rotational force
Defining an ominous plane horizontal vertical or oblique
Two but two interpenetratively
Placental yarns having spindled plummetly
Or wound upon the wheel

Like all dreams they aggregate
To create a placket mass solid flexible and soft
Like an albuminate and foundational slab
Or the pleonastic bier upon which the corpse is displayed
Of one who has died in secret and alone
Or effluencing the uncanny smell of the birthing chamber
A there not there

A gown for Rapunzel
A house for a chimpanzee
The tale the spinny stars tell
Hera’s lactation or Hyades’ tears
The spider’s web spangled with dew
Both what has happened and what you will do
Evermore about to was
The warp of one and the weft of the other
