Recollection:
Salt on the lips
Seated, moving
Thirsty, drinking
Lacking fellow
Feeling for self
Lost in footling
Inculcation.
Present seeing:
Fire conditions
Brown bush yielding
Snow-melt trickle
Greening desert
Springing winter
Acquiesce and
Looming dryness.
Imagining:
Ice on rooftops
Downcast claw-forms
Sluicing water
Hearth warm under
Insinuates
The striving wet
Into fissures.
Presentiment:
Grasping want loosed
Dream of river
Manifesting
Earth in words packed
Mud from water
Bricks laid down for
Firm foundation.
