Undone

twine connects then and now
mental dental floss
playing tug-o-war with the psyche
a little cat-and-mouse
with consciousness

twine, whose strands are twisted rays of light
pierce the fog of perception
recollection
identity

rays of light diffused
by confusion and fear
eventually return
to a linear state of clarity
connecting then and now

into a taught line of truth
each end waiting
to be undone
