Ear to the Wake
we unweave what
we weave
we weave
our dreams like Penelope
at her loom
at her loom
who nightly
takes apart what she
takes apart what she
makes by day
to put off suitors
to put off suitors
knowing that
what she unmakes
what she unmakes
will be woven into
a final tapestry
a final tapestry
while Odysseus at sea
on his way
on his way
back to reclaim
his kingdom
his kingdom
a star among
stars blown off
stars blown off
course seldom
anchors
anchors
anywhere by
choice
choice
