One Unnumbered

August 27, 2018/in Poems /by ian

Out of necessity for one
Unnumbered
I’ve wandered
Through books and fantasies
In search
Like reading brail
Or listening to music
The echo only
Of wistful violins
Poised
So perfectly
On air

But then
Enraptured
I’ve raged
At volume ten
Through a
Wild
Bent
Night
Entered the maze
In its mystery
And pulled the thread
But not counted
The beast
