I.
throw a pebble lightly at a pond -
watch it sink for stones don't swim
so well
( . )
II.
years pass
as water slowly works her art;
smooths away rough edges
through a gravity
of patient nips - each
drawn tautly calm,
as molecules & atoms
there depart
[ in
single
file ]
returning to that
space where all
began
[ & shall again ]
