Argosy...a bejeweled swan decked in the riches of the material world. Body of water unending, tangled in biological hierarchy--Agamemnon's fateful net. Sodden to pending depth--forbidding save for cursory glance. Blent black, greens, blues covet their color-- invoke static tone. As it is here and there a secreted navigation plumbs, facsimile of sky. Where wave walls glassy calm to ripple, sure this ****** to near global proportion. Stoic rhetorical question to land--whose implicit question mark hooked Atlantis. This pensive strew, overlay--horizon's sutured cusp...hazy scare of seagull tossing hale Mary. Of Ahab and Helen, whereupon to round the bend of their will cannot be sought here. Down in niche of sand where starfish spreads its forehead, beholds enlightenment as sifting shafts of sunlight...sinking. Meridian's mime ebbing and flowing as an everlasting kiss...so tender God's heart swelled seven seas.

Of Ahab and Helen
Argosy...a bejeweled swan decked in the riches of the material world. Body of water unending, tangled in biological hierarchy--Agamemnon's fateful net. Sodden to pending depth--forbidding save for cursory glance. Blent black, greens, blues covet their color-- invoke static tone. As it is here and there a secreted navigation plumbs, facsimile of sky. Where wave walls glassy calm to ripple, sure this ****** to near global proportion. Stoic rhetorical question to land--whose implicit question mark hooked Atlantis. This pensive strew, overlay--horizon's sutured cusp...hazy scare of seagull tossing hale Mary. Of Ahab and Helen, whereupon to round the bend of their will cannot be sought here. Down in niche of sand where starfish spreads its forehead, beholds enlightenment as sifting shafts of sunlight...sinking. Meridian's mime ebbing and flowing as an everlasting kiss...so tender God's heart swelled seven seas.
*This poem is about the sea's mysterium tremendum. Its unassailable poetic property.
