Web

Maybe it only takes

holding your hand,

and yours — one on each side —

for the circuit to connect,

and the ancient courage

in which we know all things are possible

will flow forth.

Just so we know

we’re not alone —

So we become formidable

and we will draw our circles

in the streets

and link our threads of knowing

till our web is thick and springy

and can hold us all together,

save us all.
