spinning wheel
I follow
Only my
Shadow
As she walks
Through
The murky
Depths
Flowing within
And without me
Inside and out
Of this world
We both
Half inherit
Half inhabit
And I suppose
At times
She is
My guide
And I hers
As much
As anyone
Can guide anything
Through these
Cold and endless
Corridors
And the sun
And the light
Of the moon
Make her swell
Though she shrinks
When the starlight
Is hidden
But I know
She's there
Always has been
Always will be
I don't need
To sew
My shadow
To my heal
She's the one
Thing
I'll carry through
Whether
I want to
Or not
And when
The choice is removed
It makes things easy
And I will drink
To that
And then
Sleep
And the world
It will turn
Whether
I wind its handle
Or not
And that
Is a thing
Of beauty
And horror
In equally
Painful
Measures
