Sometimes it's the thin stream of blue ink




which keeps you afloat.  And where does it comes from?  Somedays from the sky into a watery depth.  Sometimes from the unconscious, upward.  And sometimes, it's pure horizon.  A body at rest.

Meals are like this, too.  And while we're on slippery subjects, aren't reflections liquid pools of tar?Others might suggest, ink of squid.  I'm fine with either.

  1. Herald the friend living in a new place
    all the past relics packed away again
    her books her spoons her figurines
    left for the other people's children

    it should be thus, don't you agree?
    up on the tower is a sacred bell
    and unreachable knells with which to ring it

    I think back of how we laughed at it
    refraining
    from the oblivious salty sea

    on that crossing to Bermuda
    in the shell of the cruise
    rocking us across the Atlantic
    in the freezing off-season

    bargain pleasures for two girls knowing
    nothing different
