Night Anchor

A heavy steel wristwatch lay discarded beside the wide disc of the brass floor lamp, its metallic mesh strap twisted inward. Such loose contours weaken the ground perimeter. I dropped into an upright stance upon the polished metal base and took hold of the woven band with both hands. Straightening the stiff metal mesh link by link, I drew the watch into a taut circle encircling the central brass post. It settled flush against the cold surface with a clean click. Standing composed at the pillar's foot, I hold the room in balance for the night. #chyna #She-ra @americansamurai
