Skinny dipping in the river of transfiguration


that which is insignificant

will always cling

to that which is enlightened

the fish

escape the sea

the trees

are no longer standing still

we write our lives

on plastic pages

look future look

were we kids
on those beaches
were our eyes
that young
and the stones

did they
go into
or float on top of
those surfaces

nine, eleven circles undulating

did they dissolve
in
or outside
of what our eyes could see
and

was there anything out there
that could tell us
how far
we had come
and

what it was

that would come after
the oil was gone
from the waters
what

would come after
the kids were gone
from the beaches

atlantic ocean city

if you allow it

the oceans

will disappear

so that you

can move in

and

erect monumental shopping centres

advertise blue whales

bigger

and better

than the already non-existent

products from ash

and new books

also from ash

on ash
