pendulum

by Karyn Huntting Peters

origins unknown, reaching ever-upward, yearning
for its birthplace, home of fire, ball of fire and light
and eternal day in the sky, place where perpetual
yet imperceptible movement first began

string long and deep, twisted helix of metal
shining silver in dusky pink skylight,
proceeding quietly eastward, led by solemnest
weight it carries, the burden of all time

end perfect wholeness and roundness,
mirror, conductive fire and ice of metal once living
deep in earth’s heart, reflecting every thing in
all directions, baring illusions without robes
