a moment to collect these fragments of time
by chance, a moment to turn it inside out
if only for a moment
scaffolds of despair layered under a rain-kissed sky
imaginary temples to honor seclusion beneath a nectarine sun
as the wolf, beaten, howls at the door
for a moment
a woman, more than blood and bone, seeks truth
aspirations drawn out on willowy planks
wobble in this moment
keenly aware as it all tumbles down
she delights in destruction
as the wolf becomes her faithful companion
if only for a moment
a moment to skim these fragments of time
by chance, a moment to turn it inside out
moment by moment by moment
