Do not go out softly
but like a free verse
rain into the Pacific
splattered then spent.
Odious vessel,
dry and salted.
Come watch comets
graze mountains,
with their audacity.
And eclipses! Behind
blue lights and fluorescent skies --
foibles of exigency.
Form was not made
for free spirits
to crash into. Watermarks
dance lively now, like petals
that once spiralled
outside our window.
