Mapping<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dictyna arundinacea<\/p>\n

your web in the tips of gorse<\/p>\n

maps the structure of memory<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

anchored firmly by first actions<\/p>\n

then massed with time<\/p>\n

to complex connectivity<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

now random debris mars perfection<\/p>\n

dust clogs to sagging strands<\/p>\n

the structure gathers holes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Childhood threads still hold\u2014<\/p>\n

Dragonflies can kill if they<\/p>\n

sting you near the heart<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If Midgemadoors<\/p>\n

fly into your hair<\/p>\n

you have to cut them out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Scattered random rents<\/p>\n

cannot prevent retention<\/p>\n

but things drop through.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You say I was in London<\/p>\n

when told my mother died<\/p>\n

but nothing comes to mind<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

look \u2014 opening at the web\u2019s edge<\/p>\n

a golden gorse flower unfurls<\/p>\n

freshness that steals the eye.<\/p>\n
