Ariadne/Dark Dark Shine

The poems in Ariadne/Dark Dark Shine are, as the starting poem says, ?a lost/found/&repeat narration. The arcing-thread?a-whip/lifeline/way/the-magical-gift-given/odd-bit?discovered in an old sewing basket. (Who sews nowadays?) No enchanted sword or mirror?how much braver to pocket the spool of thread, head out, put your finger to a pulse and count. A puzzle sometimes, which simple thing reveals a boon.? The question posed, ?labyrinth or circle??.
