                              to be
          in control
                                                               the paucity of repetition:

                           outside the white
circles filtering out to
adjacent
           tissues and organs
                                                metastasising
                             on
                                  to regional lymph nodes via
lymphocytes      or through
                                   capillaries out
                  to the outposts
where weavers with marble threads
stitch our insides in place and the time
cascading through them –
 
when the time comes to
walk on water, internal
      pressure forces us to
exhale and to cut the skin
      into
                                          vectors of unequal length                               semitransparent
                   & whirling.
 
In the Liddell-Scott dictionary, the entry for the Greek noun «αράχνη» (spider) notes that a connection can be made (but not established beyond doubt) that it is connected to the noun ἄρκυς (net or knot). The immediately preceding entry in the dictionary belongs to the verb ἀράσσω,
                 meaning to hit,
                                      to pound with force,
                   to bring into collision,
to utterly demolish. The poem often exists to remind us that it too must be destroyed.
