manifestation

Ink pools on the page, tendrils leave the mass,

curve in, then out and to the third imagination.

A web forms, shapes manifest, collapse and are reborn.

Faster and faster the images form,

mother of pearl infuses, intensifies and fades.

Connections, a pattern, a story,

I witness and I change.
