An approach through wet
air pin-sharp & blown under;
sidelong a body
and over then down, papery brown,
eyes, hardened, concreting: drenched
in sky surface tension
depth surface spread plain &
nearly still, a temptation
for hand heels let the body
let itself dipping a pair of wrists
wet hard cold knees dip
knees saturation. Ossifying light.
Like unlike crystal. Concrete
light breath teeming drops. Look;
looking; the ground being
hard beneath. The still film
all autumnal. Rippled
with 500-odd stony.
The body crawling
stony-hard. Sky-wet.
