No Flame

 

NO FLAME

masking detail

hibernating
between intentions
no pressure

the curl of unplanned paths
an odd line
laid out in 3-d
no landscape

lined pages
aligned before maligned
across the elevations
no depth

the next why
hyperventilating
between hits
no vapor

smoke and mirrors
noisy images
a silent thought
no flame

no water
evaporation complete
lifting fog
to a view

no unseen
colored sights
unspotted
in the dark

no spoiled
planted plain
growing on water
as reflection

between intention
and hyperventilation
there is no plain
for silent thought

an odd line
of unplanned paths
laid out in 3-d
the next why
