Step

Reading about the 'elimination step'
I understand it's philosophical
Or natural
As far as these things go

After the Lady of Shalott
In a spare room
Any isolation begins
With mirrors and longing

And just as she wove
New temperatures
To fill her time
I sit here now
At the top of a long stair
Believing my Lancelot is a dupe
That his step
Were its force known
Would proceed lifetimes
Out of view
