pillars and lanes accordioning
across long heated air breath oceanic
gray blue gray blue surface wall by wall
the movement endures till the next sweep
where is sound
just we flit oceanic
time sweeps in with the hour stroke
suspended into hulk bone-hewn
(reconscioused)
now the steam room
free path from pebbles through delirious plunge
open strokes snapped by ripples
splash claps all the way to the pines
goldfinch streak past coasting raptor
in brisk sky
drag an afternoon across eternity
