Spider-Webs

From the desk of Vitasta

Time: I keep getting caught between the whirlpools of my own device.

I wish I could tell you something about myself,

But my self is just a step away from slipping,

That in my youth, I led a rebellion,

And that we were all so very brave.

I want to tell you that we stopped the war,

But beyond that I don't remember much,

Just those little bottles of flavoured vodka,

And the bon-fires of our desert camps.

Did you know the Agave flowers,

Bloom every twenty years or so,

And that time only measures duration,

There is no valour in getting old.
