enigma

By Joan McNerney

PROMPT — The way I see it ...

shapes of time our time

pulsing in this labyrinth

of today’s bizarre maze


leading to confusion

as we witness never ending

twists of hatred and sorrow


while we spin through

this arc of silence where

the bewildered gather


figures in that jigsaw

of ragged bitter edges

colliding with death
