a ring of water and ice
resounds, a curve
moving at a constant distance
a set of curves

a wrapping of
wire
a rapt pool

          a current
bending light and air
a constant of wire

repeatedly traversed
a wrapped
pool orbits
a round body (body

rapt or bending, a current of
water and ice
a curve

an abelian group
a gathering of water
frozen pool, a wave

wrapped orbit

an ellipse
illusion, a separate traverse

glancing refraction
a dance
of light
desire

a curve sounding
water against motion

pool of silver

an ellipse wraps itself
reflection bent toward
refraction
a curving pool no

earring

 

copper parallels silver, a bright silence moving against parallel, pair but not, one, a bent

hook depends and offers advice, am I not beautiful, in the mirror a brightness bending

even silence, of brown patinas and a neglect of green, green neglects a triumph of silver,

so much for advice or parallels, am I not in the mirror one, a bent silver, one, a silence

moving over silver
