I would like to give a link here to a recent post by Kalliope Amorphous, and the poems I wrote in response.
This is not the first, or even the second time that Kalliope has moved me to poetry. So I asked myself why, and the only answer I could come up with was the word authenticity. But enough - judge for yourself

KALLIOPE: TWO WAYS TO SPIN
God created light, then
watched Kalli spin: ‘close your eyes;
rest in my darkness.’
———————————————-
She is the spider spinning
fibres of light;
weaving a coat of colours,
keeping away the night.
Carry her off
to an enchanted island
where there is no more scheming;
only the marks of dreaming
in the sand.
