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.
