What Floats

 



Above all

else in the daylight

my favorite sight

or Phenomenon

occurs in the Sky;

Fallstreak holes, lenticular halos atop

tall peaks

and the mighty Mammatus.

I seldom seek

the Why's


As cycles spin

I think I may see them again,

when the Sun's slanted spears

Disrupt

It all-appears 

Darker, more real,

an occurrence

of grounding

without sounding too

Heavy.

Evidently


Reporting without empathy makes architectural field guides for photo collectors
As album and lyricality that reflects memories in places via accidental captures,
Not limited to focus head on or red eye, not what was hiding under green-eyed
History, flash or glare,
Was the background, dropped, crooked, tiny, partial.
And parts where the edges sever our attention in sharp lines,
Bordering on continental jagged tears.
Only here-footsteps-show-Not ahead of our time,
Not dated, or inscribed
In any hand of another traveler.
Repeatedly, things recur, we call facts,
Likelihoods, charts, and possibilities as solid as paper rocks and

Finger scissors.

And then...

  Change is like that strong smell of cut grass or chopped wood that stops you still. Patterns, a symbol can be an illegible sign,  at first...
