from the shore
the frozen shiny sands suddenly moved
beneath her feer.
The girl standing knee-deep in water
came to herself and mused:
'How familiar is this moment!'”

will you also examine the white, crystal today
in the haze and mist of slimy yesterday?
Do what you will

the sun has also been accused
of having necked and cuddled the night.”
