line of sun
dot of rain
simple
existential plane

gun report
gutter ball
heavy table
dragged through hall

jump through mirror
of flat lake
enter darkness
wide awake

whittled piling
bows to lee
stands up to 
relentless sea

ramped up mound
ocean sound
waiting for
collapse profound

bird song floats
on airy sea
towards a verdant
canopy

evening seeps in
like a tide
filling emptiness
inside

pretty shell
dead inside
lacquered by
retreating tide

waves collapsing
one by one
underneath
indifferent sun

corridor 
of thought sublime
dimly lit 
and full of grime

silver-crested
lapis sea
marching towards
infinity

somber cloud
nudged by sigh
through hard void
of winter sky

silhouette 
of leafless tree
presented as
fine tracery

autumn leaves
final breath
inside pigeon's
swollen chest

autumn crown
in disrepair
gold and rust
leaf everywhere

harmony
in soot and lead
pigeon soaring
overhead

stoic pines
huddled tight
insulated from
daylight

with silver crests 
and lapis faces
waves roll into
open spaces

into hollows
of storm's head
sun-bleached gull
with wings widespread

melancholy 
thud of bell
dampened by
a tow'ring swell

wind skips over
aqueous hide
sweeps dark hackles
to the side

empty sky
open sea
monochrome
infinity

rippled water
follows breeze
into coastal
cavities

waters shift
incessantly
deconstruct
sky canopy

frosted limb
bowing low
rain applause
end of show

'tween humble earth
and gothic height
tarnished pigeon
versed in flight

lapis trough
with marble crest
rolling under
gull at rest
 
foaming crests
pile on bar
glow like marble
from afar

at the edge
of sky and sea
lighthouse tones
monotonously

polished mirror
silent lake
stir clouds into
canoe wake

cloud bouquets
bloom and sigh
requiem for
autumn sky
