the pointer

His lines break our stilts

This blackened stork is balanced

With a single digit he divides a room

A corner around which we crane our necks

To catch a glimpse of this daring divider

We are caramelized with wonder

Charred man of dripping straw

Lingering inside certainty

As we hover in hoards

He tells curious entropic particles

"Keep traveling"

In a scale and language

That matches our own

First a net

Next an anchor

Now a compass

His index

Whittles the space

Reducing the roar of

Combatant mortality.
