Braided Trajectories

 As the Vistula wraps herself on her banks

When the water feels a bit much to handle,

I turn to my words; for a touch of compassion.

Surface waves, signatures of unstable realities

Appear from, and merge into oblivion 

As newer raindrops mimic hope, excitation.


My search for meaning braids my way

Back onto itself, swinging freely in space

But knotted strictly through time. 

Who am I in this grand flow of worldlines?

A diffuser? Or a dancing cosmic string -

With its ends absorbed in a strange dynamics?


As I prepare to sleep in Luxembourg tonight,

Krakow puts a blanket of fog over herself

As if to re-iterate that I took my flight

Last night, when the time seemed right.


Hence, let's move on from the banks

There's a flood-warning, 

Though Krakow's (supposedly) globally safe.

The recent pattern breaks

And the deeper form re-exerts itself.
