fiber of a thing

to finish a thought
brought free from the solid
clutches of three men gone wrong

so many have led to be lied to;
so many have fell to be brought around
bright and true

to be the thing, or to
be wrought free by that same thing

a watcher born to be watched, wild-willed
and given leave

as a commodity or a black night thing
waved air moving through
her boats, ships to the shore
phantoms from before
