twisting around my uncomprehending body,
and not knowing how it had happened
or knowing how to unravel myself I turned
and found the knot tighter so I
made a new loop in it and that made it
even stronger and then from there I moved
blindly, going in haphazard directions,
not knowing where they led, and every move I made
seemed to simply make the original tangle
more interestingly configured
and harder to see the base of,
and all of my strategies and tactics
only made it fasten its grip
in more cleverly elaborate
ways.
And I want nothing more than to do a Hercules number on it
but I'm not sure which knife to grab,
or even if I would know how to wield it,
or how I would live
without the knot's
comforting familiarity.
