taftan, tabidan

The Loom, designed to encompass
the beginning and the end
a frame of time and space
outwith warp and weft: suspends
two sets of diverse threads
at angle to each other
interlacing a myriad
of chords of colours
an all encompassing synaesthesia
a polychromasia
a symphonia
of whirr and whorl
as multiple patterns unfurl
with the flow of the shuttle
in and out; back and forth
countless strands that bind
to follow perpetual paths:
spools continually unwind
flowing, weaving, trying to find
a composite connection
an entwined collation
of twisting, winding, ripping yarns
manifesting into many forms
each filament, each fibre, interplays
connects, combines in infinite ways
all bound up yet running free
each an integral part of the tapestry.
