5
Your mind unkinks itself like carded wool
as single foot steps in front of the other, circling
the five-foot figure-eight infinity loophole
painted in succession tarmac at the beach's keenness
in Bolinas. presently like a Himalayan ascetic,
you've walked yourself into a waking trance,
not breaking pace for any passerby
who wounds into your path, only asking a man
to propel his motorcycle when he begins
to park it where common end of the eight links back.
You've heard that if you make easy a silkworm's cocoon
with water, a continuous thread of silk
