Still Life With Infinite Repercussions
by Kaye Mondebord
o my lush
my clearing
my smell of moss and wood.
I know you here, in this water's unstillable warp.
that of you which breathes in light and pull.
that of you which patterns me in
ever-expanding concentric circles.
that of you in which rock
these infinite repercussions.
that knowing of you within which
I dream a language of fluid dynamics.
the crux, the unmappable
swell of meeting ripples.
