deep under the translucent layers water earth sky all reflect
poems fall
out of her like great raindrops
or a hawk from the treetop after prey
life abstracted is troubling I wish for concrete solid secure comprehensible
poetry painting in these blank pages lines develop
is it true life that rises as brush touches tense surface as words form in mind eye
marks develop a specific time recorded energy exchanged just
as quickly bob and shimmer just under the surface
disappear
