The lake of mind,
–
Stagnant algal bloom
branching in bracken waters
–
Softens the sedimentation
of its view, un tongues color-
until the air is-
–
a mountain cloud of grounded water
in the blue lagoon of the sky’s memory,
touching the horizon’s question of land
–
a carcass whistle of fathers,
thronged in oblong bone, chalk-thorned
in the tears of Mother’s lapping skin,
–
children rise from the reflex rain
pooling the flecks in our eye,
–
The fossils of past’s dreamed
–
And remembered,
–
in the limpid reflection hewn
below the ochre yellow fall of the limbed
wings of a weaving fever tree
