the night languorous
by tanner brockwell
the night languorous
rustled as the moving pen
parchment pigment ink
drawn out in the mini movements
of thought and art and design
sketching the phosphorescent line
fading light drawing in a arc
a curve the special curve
of a spiral spun
tight loose round
lithe
the imagined design
then a remembered design
then the light dimming
fading to leave
the canvas open
and wide
receptive of each new stroke
expectant of the hue
and the colors flow
in a motion of line
the mystery of design and chance
the very happenstance
serendipitous momentous thus
all in an instant that the light
spun caught channeled and flowed
unto open weave
and see
it is light and bright and new
