The one 
     The other
         The marathon

Fragile succession

time and how we write it out

Slowly a sun and off the page they come
wary of intrusion
these small moments
wherein

reduced and perpetual
curled up like some seashelled animism

Put a shell to your ear and hear
whatever you want
hear anything

Cover your eyes learn how to listen

Waves queued up in the margin,

subtle change 
of hue of mood
lightly, lightly, 
as the world,
poetry resonates

scraps of paper these images
blown and restless
pressed up against 
the same chain link fence

light wavers 
glancing off the inconsistency
of trying to portray all this.
