from the pupil
black stream purling
ink is liquid
dreaming seems
from the pupil
black stream purling
ink is liquid
dreaming seems
cool blue sky whitening from the east
laved in dawn’s clear stream
how many know this release ?
cool blue sky
whitening from the east
laved in dawn’s clear stream
how many find this release ?
vast rolling sea.
beyond the clouds, blue empty sky
clouds like ropes
coiling and winding
uncoiling unwinding
along and beyond
the blue empty sky
vast rolling sea
beyond the clouds
blue empty sky
clouds like ropes
coiling and winding
uncoiling unwinding
along and beyond
the blue empty sky
daylight moon
a fifty cent coin
half slipped into a blue pocket
daylight moon
a fifty cent coin
half slipped
in a blue pocket
midnight moon
land of silver through the horizon
a flower tumbles along the ground
tumble tumble tumble tumble
a flower tumbles along the ground
tumble tumble tumble
estuary
rain riven
painting in a
brown – grey wash
estuary
rain riven
painting
in a
brown – grey wash
day dissolves —
cliffs faint through mist
breakers roar
day dissolves — cliffs faint through mist
breakers roar
