Across Thick Happenings, A Novel Rise

...

Generally, the nights broke phenomenal 

through the window

east, the din of gulls made known 

the clamour of day

none too gently; blue opacity 

of the sea’s plateau

eventually wound its way thru all the senses, 

the new-scrubbed Seattle grey

valenced in bulk 

to a crescendo 

that demanded  

eyes, provoked nose:

a wild 

earthly wheel’d shock 

of a land-locked  

mariner’s legs exposed.

 


Let’s say,

 for once,

 that this morning 

was different, whether

yawl or pitch of the wind 

lifted something else from blue

nothing to the sky above, 

or perhaps the weathered

nymphs, in their tide turning,

 knew (what had changed), and 

 

decided on that breaking 

to say something different.

Assuredly, I was not 

the only one to behold the

 

vivid spectacle, in new light, look 

on what was wrenched the night before 

into the Insatiable Darkness- we, suspended 

through Its vaporous demeanor 

on wings,

soft droplets of surface condensed 

to ephemeral stream.
