What I reached through, really,
was a wrinkle, a ripple of wind,
a hiss of a far-fetched cry.
Which sent me wandering
with a curse nagging my mind,
a spy with dazed eyes
drunk with clues.
I paused in flotsam villages
where shadow people gazed
at fields of far-off light.
And guided by their eyes
I reached an electrical mecca
that hissed in its sleep
and raved like a crackpot god
shocked from a terrible dream—
a shivering scream whose clarity
offered me a home:
Find thy grace in this lost bog
is all ye need to know.
