contour abyss

what do you see when you close your eye?

the lake that lingers in the shadow of the mind
a glowing net, pulsing with the tide
morph and twist; clench and sift
from static it lifts - the contour abyss

what is that form in the sea substrate?

waves beget waves; dart and dilate
wash away grain, away with the shapes
the meniscus bridge - the horizon line
convex slide into the shadow of the mind

what is that gleam in the caustic depth?

A fae that wisps with ocean breath
A face too familiar harbors latent intent
A twirl so symphonic, casting eddies and wakes
A hug so nurturing; caught bitter embrace

what do you breathe when no air is left?

stuck in the snare of that labyrinthine net
a pull and a tug, stretched from duet
hoisted laid dripping on vessel broadside
its sturdy craft breaks on the horizon line
