Blindsided
Again
She told me
She told me
I paid
No heed
Didn’t register
Wasn’t what
I needed
To hear
Oh I watched
Watched her
Whole ritual
The cat’s cradle
Woven blue
Thread and
Then watched
The thread spin
A whirlpool
A spinning
Octopus
With arms
More many
More spinning
Than eight
And she saw
I did not
And she spoke
I did not
Listen
My ears
Refused
To hear
To pay
Attention
And now
And so
Blindsided
