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.
