The years are cinched tight with many strings,
Who gave me the silken, spinning threads?
But touch and utterly retain,
The intricate patterns tangles weave (said
I, “O, pity. There’s a dreadful knot, which strikes as bitterly profane.”)
Is all that I am left to do for,
Regret is like a vile mushroom: it thrives in private, musty corners—
Dark and secret, roots under-bound.
It’s not as if I can just let go
And watch my twisted web flutter to the ground.
