silk

the attraction 
to light - to the glow 

of known worlds. such moths 
grow and die. their legacy that which is 
manufactured. there is not much need here 

for those types of jobs 
he seeks elsewhere still 

returning to me. speaks 
of tesla and those who 

make plastic do-dads to 
 keep pillls in, i speak of 

luck, endurance, best fit 
he speaks of hope: roots, 

me - we speak of change 
like moths we still fly up 

towards light: a very bright light up ahead. 
a legacy of silk, a road beyond what we can see
