SWAY HER

SWAY HER

You wove a web

For her swaying soul

Words hooked to words

A macraméd cradle

***

In word strung hammock

You cupped and cradled

Her churning spirit

As she swung to and fro

In its lullaby web

***

Mind The Gap

Mind The Gap

Word beads joined word beads

In tensile strength

Holding aloft her startled spirit

***

Cats cradle of syllables

Sounds and sentences

You held her over

Her innner precipice

***

Oh sway her, sway her

With word strung gift

Rock her, rock her

- No more bereft
