pond / reflecting /

our un-apologies /

we crunch / devour each other /
shell and all / if not you / then
your frothy offspring /

we eat / we eat / living
and dead all trapped /each

a poke of the wheel / that turns /
that turns /

once a fish / twice a bird.

pond / reflecting /

a fallen swallow /

i am through with flying /
eyes full of cloud / a storm /
destroyed me mid-air /

dropped like a stone / into rich
foliage / my body a repository /

safe now broken open /
a rich substrate / festivity /

eat me /

that i may live on.

pond / reflecting /

storm / slow / heavy /

pressing change forward /

a sudden agitation / flies / dragonflies /
all out and strident / high pitch /
a last minute chance of meat /

before rain rolls out a blitz /
carpeting water over everything /
forced into wait.

pond / reflecting /

night raining in invisible
black / air drips liquid /
it makes a hole of

space /

breathing / eating / going /
all impossible now /

a deafening
sound of nothing
pours and pours / time

is turning elastic /
double-dutching

sky into a splash.
