This is a space where I have a mid life crisis, write about my creative journey, and talk about songwriting and share bits of terrible poetry.

Loom Song

Written in

by

Pass the beveled shuttle-cock 
between the weft and weave
The rhythm of the loom.
Rocking back and forth
Sings a hypnotic tune.
A playlist far off from the past
A glint of the ancient story
In flux as the cloth comes to be
And reveal all its glory.
Grown tight with threads of light
A spell
Written in the gravity
The orbit of far off stars
We are moving toward an eclipse
And wondering what we are.

This poem was inspired by a prompt from Sylvia Kalina on substack and this video of Instagram. Maybe I could read it to a loom beat?
