#icebergs
We head for icebergs,
Faster than we know,
We cherish our unsinkability.
But we don't know what lies on the dark sea's lip,
Often sailing with confidence,
Yet, without a search light.

Trade winds blow backwards
My mind reels
Insight in insight
Thirdhand apocrypha
Melting all the time
Icebergs within icebergs

We drifted;
Like the continents,
Like icebergs,
Like thoughts.
Like lovers,
we drifted.

On the I C,
I C,
I C Bergs.
Their splendour
Leaves me
Lost for wergs.

like icebergs
we keep floating
through our lives
tops in the present
bulky bodies in the past
what lies unseen below the surface
steadies our course
above
we take it as it comes
sun, rain, and snow & ice & wind
sometimes it melts us down a bit
but overall
it makes the bulks of our bodies grow
the new weighs heavily and
pushes what was new before
downward
day by long day
until
in balmy southern waters
we slim down
and then
one day
a final ache splits
upward from the bottom
through the consolidated matter
of all years
and we drown
