The pond stretches into
the night
dreaming it had been a
glacier an
ocean
a river a cascading stream.
What is set free when
I Am collapses
into itself? From the walls of a Paleo-
lithic cave
a horse with a dotted pelt
found
its footing
and galloped out in
to
the light, with
cracks and fissures.
No
longer art he choked on
green
living grass. Then, under a
Shiva-
blue
sky he cantered
to where
all
streams
flow into the uncertainty
of
what had been "a work
of art."
