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
