Tales of the Expected

It's a tale that I wrote
at the bottom of the ocean
with the dark plumes of ink in my mouth
that caressed all the words -
o perpetual motion -
to the widening gyre without
Was the thread in the eye not binding
when I stitched through the spine?
Was the knife at the fold not kindly
when it slipped through the line?
It's a wound, nothing more
It's a wound, nothing less
It's fine
It's fine
I'm over it
It's a wound, nothing more
It's a wound, nothing less
It's fine
It's fine
I'm over it
And the pages spun round
'til the tale and the pages
became, in the end,
something else.
And the pages spun round
'til the tale and the pages
became, in the end,
someone else.
Was the thread in the eye not binding
when I stitched through the spine?
Was the knife at the fold not kindly
when it slipped through the line?
It's a wound, nothing more
It's a wound, nothing less
It's fine
It's fine
I'm over it
It's a wound, nothing more
It's a wound, nothing less
It's fine
It's fine
I'm over it
