Buried under a cascalade

 

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
