AMANDA EMILIO
Ouroboros
Go by feeling
go by the jagged breaks
in a poem
sit by the thin wire of light
slowly tracing the room
come up with a plan
and behold yourself
as if you are yourself
making what you can out of the scatter
of stars warm and freshly lit
by hands with visible rivers of blue
by morning
by sun-fall
by the last bell tolled
in yesterday’s quivering
shadow.
