E.V. Malley: Uncle Ern Looming

By | 1 December 2010

A densely plotted graph of peaceless wool is sewn
across a plane and pinned to dry on tenterhooks.
The air is woven well, a chart of knotted winds
ensnares a bowing gum and rags of oily cloud
are loops of thread from reels pedalled bare.
Precisely angled rain is uniformly stitched
by grim intent with flashy silver needlework.
The weaver takes the trails of the woven strands
and tethers up the skies and finespun atmosphere
to sharpen doubled lines, refine the captured mess.
Beware the ill equation mapped within this frame
of Summer hell the frightened weaver gathers in.
