"Balance"
disregards attrition but only to a point.
If too many edges crumble where's your well-known asset, balance?
Hung on a long-loop of pearl- pink flowered weeds some bird flittered, and
dropped a seed; sly as Shylock, swung
and moved the sun.

4. One of the reasons I posted this... |
|
is that I really couldn't say what it's "about." I like abstract, even remote, work, but this one is kinda puzzling me.
