a hemorrhaging flood having
flashbacks--too lucid to pass away.
making vaster its return...an Ocean
that is given.
paralleling unreachable shores,
plumbing unreachable depths.
far gone and wetter than water,
where a sky drops its mirror to
summon its shards.
where silence detaches enough
to harden its shell.
rolled around the pearled eyes
of behemoths that follow something
larger than themselves.
