Four



when they stood as what they will become
twining from the rivers silk and rustling of the silk and birds
under what will become their feet in dance of the lights
stones wandered

did the Sun became to see
or look at the mountains walk to the over the forest
going there later with the knowledge that there is only decline
available
going there later but know

sending rays in the ways of yourself
connecting with stones in the bridge to observe
to shine
does Phoebus starts with “f”
dispel
disseminate
set

_

converse \ (in)verse
the path is always one from all of many doors
and all of them are exit from the present
like a silk beam from the whistling birds

was Ariadne's song a joy
to Theseus departing in / to sunset
behind the forest
was the sun waiting
