The Loom

The Loom

Jump the pattern
cut the weave
All the chaos
you would believe

All twisted fiber
a tapestry's gash
crimson red or hollow black
or green as US cash

Torrents of blue
cried from the sky
in a blanket that chilled
a frosted kiss goodbye

Pink and blue woven
under a hanging bell
one bumped thread lost its head
and cut them all to hell

A friend drew tarot
to see what she'd see
she dropped them, shaking,
"It couldn't be!"

Moving strings on woven roads
read by fallen cards
many threads stopped dead
rocks as lethal, cutting shards

All of these, sewn together
Under the gun, underhanded,
stones flung across the ages
unknown as to where they landed

The tapestry that coats the heavens
and the blood that coats hell
For all may be bad
despite starting well.
