Filament
A whisper. Not for the ear to comprehend but lower
perhaps ankle high…no, lower
an unknown operator moving through grasses
where home and light are finely attuned
metastable, eluding even the cat’s whisker
that filches waves
filters air’s turbulence, static, white noise.
Fine as a thorn
it catches the roar of the crowd beneath the balcony
the wash of water…
