a descent into poetry insanity

Restrictions: None
Paraguay: Nanduti Lace
her fingers twist the web—
laying spokes
like the sun’s rays
against the silk.
her needle is lightning—
pulling the lines
into a flower petal
or a stalk of corn
or the oven where she bakes.
no paper.
no stamp to tell her
where the spokes should gather
or where they should fan apart.
the world is her pattern.
and in the end,
she cuts the anchor—
thread by thread,
until all that is left
is her dream—
twisted into being.
