a double-bladed Sword

a double-bladed Sword –

stolen from our very eyes this incoming

wave an ocean in itself

it swirls through blackwater

into our Arms; We

embrace its foetal forms -- We

are Superannuated

with Surprise -- We no longer

caution

Our imagination to be of Use -- We

have

begun to Emerge

through the Tide to become Our

surefooted warriors

under boughs of green -- Tablets

of Stone

dissolve under lichen

and we can breathe, here, amazed

at the hollows

in our back, a black Cat

Stretched upon the Sand

our familiar sighing

in the wind --
