Words pour across the page,
spill over the edge,
like so many beads from a broken
cord, falling from my neck.
They roll above wide pine boards,
lodge in wooden grooves
like wayward thoughts, I retrieve them
missing one, now two.
So much like beads from a shattered
strand, the words shift and change
restrung, refigured, recombined,
pattern, color, rhythm, line ---
what I see, redefined.
