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."
