Mirror vacation

in deliberation, the range of opportunities, an ocean

dance of shore, sand, tide and time's delicate retreat

"all around my hat, I will wear the green willow

and all around my hat, for a twelve-month and a day."

we hear voices, rejoin the mirror as captains of destiny

rather than castaways trusting some tragedy out on high seas to deliver us

gratitude feeds us, majestic wings in pale blue sky

"torn down where the limpets are blue

the pelicans witness, the waters deliver"

baste, wean, coagulate, call those wild turkeys out from their woody hiding places

set them on fire in thanksgiving, raise their scalded feet above your widow's peak

brilliant shadows, bursting appendix vantage point relishing lapdog hollow legs

"the extraordinary!

like a moon rock, or the droppings of an exiled venusian."

cypriot growling headstrong, let's wrestle tonight beneath orange omelid beetles

hooping yonder belly within thistle scores, dirty abrogation in whole fruit

gastile, voracious malachite garden, hanging loud trainwrecks in globes of pearstock

"nonadditive effects of damage by different herbivores

on ramet growth or mortality"
