I see a horse
racing the wind
You see a trout leaping
upstream
He sees a dolphin diving
through whitecaps
She sees a shark carrying
a child's arm in its smile
Peering closer as if stopped
in my tracks in a hall
of mirrors I see clown faces
pressed up against
the stained glass panels
arranged in cascading polygons
which suddenly become whales
Bluefin tuna, petroglyphs
of panda bears in the desert
small families hunkered in caves
while a hummingsquid shoveling
for limpets gets strung along
the cordoned off portals
of industry meanwhile
from the corner a ray of light
infuses the catastrophic
sculpture with brass scales
reflecting an array
of configurations
suggesting the loss
of the most pearlescent
petrified teardrops
chambers of the hive
agglomerated in a comb
of spicy dust the polar
bear in hibernation
incubating as a drone
confiscated by the reflection
off the camera eye I see a penguin
sleek as a curved chevron sailing
over the rainbow and crying
gigantic shifting blobs of tears
dropped elongating into runnels
left over from the burrowing
worms of time from the yumanitu
the stain you couldn't find
the glass in your mind
The flowing stream of molten
golden memories lying frozen
on the catapulted ground
