Antediluvian Poem

How utterly

Profound, then lost
In the deluge

Left behind long before
It was time.

In the Deep Blue Sea

You write:
the ink grew less,
the sea increases.
--George Seferis

If to fathom is to see,
To come to understanding after

Taking your breath in and holding it
While diving deep, what

Did coming up for air mean?

Ultramarine

Stream beckoning
Underwater, gleaning

Gulf of dreams.

What Remains Unspoken Is Crystal Clear

stay
speech

less
as

snow
flakes

melt
on

way
down.

Getting down to Basics

Skeleton of unknown animal
In winding dry stream bed,

Sheet of bedrock for a bed.
