9187 Rip and Render

[by S. David]  [art by Beau Stanton]

Failure
Do it
Again he pictured
The pattern
So perfectly
In his mind
A perfect
Celebration
With mystical
Meanings and
Properties too
He had drawn
It so precisely
Meant it to be
An act of
Homage
And yet and yet
Something wrong
Something missing
Four times before
Weeks of labor
Each just
Lacking something
He ripped it up
Like the others
Said a brief
Prayer and
Incantation
Started over
Again
To render
The patterned
Portal for
Certain minds
To enter
To leave
Behind
This reality
