The pond stretches into the night
dreaming it had been a glacier an
ocean a river a stream that's now
its being.

What is set free when I Am collapses
into itself, and becomes a diminutive
me? From a Paleolithic cave, a horse
galloped out and found its footing. No
longer art, it choked on the greens of
living grass, cowered under the sky's
Shiva-blue vault, then collapsed into
a deep pool of black mineral paint.

Continuing to walk past the pond,
our shadows followed each other
to what we can never know.
